Tuesday, April 17, Siuslaw JV
will be at Douglas High School
for another Far West League
meet, with the Vikings hosting
the Central Coast Invitational on
Friday, April 20.
Events for Tuesday’s meet
begin at 3:30 p.m. Friday’s meet
gets started at 4 p.m.
Vikings a 2-1 lead going into
the seventh — and what was
expected to be — last inning,
just three outs away from a
Tigers victory.
Taft scored an unearned run
in the top of the inning. But
once again, the Viking hitters
were unable to make solid con-
tact and the game entered extra
innings. In the 10th inning, I
made another pitching change.
Taft did not.
This seemed to be quite a
long outing for an early season
non-league game.
With the 12th inning up, we
only need prevent Taft from
scoring to assure a change of
pitchers in the 13th.
Then, they scored a run.
Their ace finished the game
with two more strikeouts, total-
ing 23 retired batters in the nar-
row 3-2, 12-inning victory.
This would be the longest
baseball game I ever coached
or played. Without Taft’s ace
on the mound, the Vikings won
the second game 6-2, giving
Taft its first loss of the season.
Ninteen innimgs of baseball
were played that day, but the
memories of the longest game
live on in our memories.
for spring Chinook season, and
reports of early fish being
caught are coming in from the
lower
Columbia,

regulation changes on the

of wild and hatchery fish are
being caught. Casting spinners,
drifting bait or using a bobber

on the Nestucca. There should
be good numbers of broodstock
hatchery fish and wild steel-

bait, drift fishing, nymphing,
and swinging flies or spinners
are all good techniques.

start from there.
TRASK RIVER: Steelhead
This is mostly a wild fish
river, although some hatchery

Dungeness crab, bay clams,
rockfish, steelhead
Streams and rivers are now
closed to trout fishing until
May 22.
The steelhead rivers in the
Coos Basin are running a little
high after the rain over the
weekend but are clearing
quickly. Steelhead anglers are
having success fishing eggs or
yarn balls along the bottom or
by fishing a jig suspended
below a bobber.
In the Coos Basin, 1 addi-
tional hatchery steelhead may
be retained per day for a total
aggregate of 3 adult hatchery
fish harvested daily.
Anglers fishing the South
Fork Coos River above
Dellwood will need a permit
from Weyerhaeuser, which
allows the angler access up to
the Seven Mile Bridge.
Permits can be obtained at
Weyerhaeuser’s Coos Bay
office.
• Recreational fishing for
bottomfish is open in the ocean
along with bays and estuaries.
The daily bag limit will be 5
marine fish plus 2 lingcod.
• There will be no retention
of cabezon until July 1.
• Anglers have reported
catching rockfish and lingcod
inside Coos Bay near the north
jetty.
• Crabbing and clamming
updates can now be found in
the Crabbing and Clamming
section of the Recreation
Report.
TENMILE LAKES: Trout,
warmwater species, large-
mouth bass (Located 10 miles
north of North Bend alongside
Highway 101, at the town of
Lakeside. County park with
camping, boat ramp and a fish-
ing dock.)
Trout anglers trolling spin-
ners and wedding rings have
been catching holdover hatch-
ery rainbow trout in Tenmile
Lakes. In the spring anglers on
Tenmile Lakes will occasional-
ly catch large wild coho smolts
(sometimes up to 14-inches).
These coho smolts need to be
released alive immediately.
Trout fishing is open all year
in Tenmile Lakes.
Fishing for largemouth bass
has been slow. Water tempera-
tures are cold so anglers will
need to slow down there pre-
sentations. Most bass will be
found in deeper water near
structure or weed edges.
Anglers have reported the
fishing for yellow perch has
slowed down. There are lots of
small yellow perch so anglers
will have to sort to find larger
perch.
