It was the SABC’s 14 year of hosting the fundraising event, which consis- tently raises $25,000 to $50,000 annu- ally. SABC president Steve Moser thanked those who donated “and 148 Maple St. Florence 541-997-3441 & SHEET METAL, INC. “Your Local Independent Trane Dealer” Florence’s Oldest & Largest Heating Contractor worked tirelessly on this year’s event, which would not have been possible without such generosity and talent.” The Booster Club donates to the high school and middle school sports programs in three ways.

SIUSLAW RIVER: Cutthroat trout, fall Chinook Fall Chinook fishing on the Siuslaw river/bay opened Aug. 1, a few fish are being caught low in the system but overall fishing has been slow. Expect num- bers of fall Chinook enter- ing the bays and estuaries to increase later in the month and into September. Best techniques include trolling herring/spinners and bobber fishing with bait. Sea-run cutthroat will begin entering the lower river later this month and into the fall. These fish are very aggressive, respond well to flies and lures, and can be up to 20-inches long.
