4B | WEDNESDAY, A UGUST 1, 2018 | SIUSLAW NEWS Fishing from 1B 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 species like bass, crappie, bluegill and walleye. • Travel to higher elevation lakes and streams where the water, and you, will be cooler. • Consider a trip to the coast where ocean and bay fishing can be good throughout the summer.' MID COAST LAKES: 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 dissolved oxy- gen. Trout scheduled to be released in Siltcoos Lagoon will be diverted to Cleawox Lake. In addition, fishing for warm- water species such as bass and other panfish should improve through June as water tempera- tures warm and these fish get more active. Ollala Reservoir, Mercer Lake, Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch Lake have warm water species available. Ollala Reservoir, Mercer Lake, Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch Lake have warm water species available.

SIUSLAW RIVER : Cutthroat trout Trout fishing in streams and river opened May 22. Fishing is restricted to artificial flies and lures through Aug. 31. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, spring Chinook, trout Summer steelhead are pres- ent in decent numbers. Low clear water can make fishing for summer steelhead challeng- ing, but there can be some good action at first and last light, or on those drizzly over- cast days. Concentrate on deep pools and deeper riffles. Drift fishing, spinners, and flies are good choices. Light line, small presentations, and fishing the riffles and deep pools at first and last light can increase suc- cess. There are still a few spring Chinook available in the Wilson River, although num- bers will be very low, especially considering the low runs we are seeing on other basins. Cutthroat trout can be found throughout the river, with sea- runs beginning to enter tidal areas. Fishing should be fair to good, with spinners or flies good bets for success. YAQUINA RIVER: Cutthroat trout These lakes and ponds are now listed individually in the alphabetical listing. Spring trout stocking begins around March 1. COOS COUNTY LAKES/PONDS: Trout These lakes and ponds are now listed individually in the alphabetical listing. Spring trout stocking begins around March 1 (see stocking sched- ule).

Anglers can use only artificial flies and lures in streams above tidewater. The daily limit for trout in streams is 2 fish per day and they must be 8-inches or longer. Recreational fishing for bot- tomfish is open in the ocean along with bays and estuaries. FURNITURE • HOUSEHOLD GOODS ART • CLOTHING • BOOKS CHRISTMAS ITEMS PICKUP AVAILABLE ON SELECT ITEMS.
