Fishing can get a little tough
during these hot summer
days – water temperatures
increase, aquatic weed
growth accelerates and fish
get lethargic. Here are some
ideas to help you beat the
dog days of fishing:
• Fish early in the morning
when waters are cooler and
fish are more active.
• Look for fish in deeper
water, where it’s cooler.
• Focus on warmwater spe-
cies like bass, crappie, blue-
gill and walleye.
• Travel to higher elevation
lakes and streams where the
water, and you, will be cool-
er.
• Consider a trip to the
coast where ocean and bay
fishing can be good
throughout the summer.

Mid coast lakes stocking
schedule for this year is
posted online. Stocking of
mid coast lakes began in
February. Siltcoos Lagoon
will not be stocked this year
due to continued low dis-
solved oxygen. Trout sched-
uled to be released in
Siltcoos Lagoon will be
diverted to Cleawox Lake.
In addition, fishing for
warmwater species such as
bass and other panfish
should improve through
June as water temperatures
warm and these fish get
more active.
Ollala
Reservoir, Mercer Lake,
Siltcoos
Lake
and
Tahkenitch Lake have
warm water species avail-
able.

Portions of coast open for razor clamming
The Oregon Department of
Agriculture (ODA) and the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife
(ODFW) announced Friday that a
portion of the coast has opened for
razor clamming as domoic acid levels
have fallen below the closure limit
Recreational razor clamming is now
open from Tillamook Head to Cape
Arago. Recreational razor clamming is
closed for the ODFW annual conser-
vation closure from the Columbia
River to Tillamook Head. This closure
is not related to biotoxins.
Recreational razor clamming is also
closed from Cape Arago to the
California border for elevated levels of
domoic acid toxin. This includes all
beaches and all bays.
Recreational mussel, bay clam and
crab harvesting are open along the
entire Oregon coast.
Contact ODFW for recreational
licensing requirements, permits and
rules.
For more information please call
ODA’s Shellfish Safety Information
Hotline at 800-448-2474.
