Fishing can get a little
tough during these hot
summer days — water tem-
peratures 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 morn-
ing 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 eleva-
tion 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.

common thread of
shared experience from
the generations of
Siuslaw alumni who
gathered to recognize
some of the individuals
who contributed to those
the school’s legacies.
Among them was the
late Dennis Howell, a
legendary first-team all-
state linebacker who was
a member of the 1963
team that claimed the
school’s first state play-
off bid and went 11-1
upon reaching the state
semi-finals.
Howell’s family was
there to receive a plaque
on his behalf, with past
Florence Police Chief
Lynn Lamb speaking
about his life-long friend.
“I’ve been telling sto-
ries about Denny since
1961 because, to put it
plainly, he was an unfor-
gettable character who
was as passionate as he
was compassionate,” said
Lamb. “He remains the
toughest man I ever
knew, and that’s after 40
years in law enforce-
ment.”

s Siuslaw wres-
tling coach Neil
Wartnik put it,
“Life is like a relay race,
handing the baton from
one generation to the
next. To get a clean hand-
off, you need examples of
leadership and excel-
lence from those who
come before you.”
Wartnik’s words came
early
in
Friday’s
eighth-annual Siuslaw
Hall of Fame induction
ceremony, spoken during
his introduction of 2018
inductee and 1974 wres-
tling state champion
Dwight Chapman, who
echoed Wartnik’s senti-
ments about the impor-
tance of legacy.
“The people who came
before us — we stand on
their shoulders,” said an
emotional Chapman,
who wore his father’s
1943 Siuslaw High
School letterman jacket
to the ceremony.
It was an evening full
of reminiscing that
spanned decades of
Siuslaw tradition, recog-
nizing athletes and
coaches from 1964
through 1994.
Despite the span of
three decades, it was
clear that there was a

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 oxygen. Trout
scheduled 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.

and
Tahkenitch Lake have
warm water species avail-
able.
