crucial showdown Thursday that put
Siuslaw’s play-off hopes on the line.
“We’ve been talking with the girls
about focusing on the next point and
letting mistakes go,” said Siuslaw coach
Jonathan Hornung. “It was great to see
them do that so many times during the
match and fight for every point.”
After being swept by No. 2-ranked
Cottage Grove (6-1, 13-3) earlier in the

MID COAST LAKES:
Stocking of mid coast lakes
stopped in early June, but
fishing for warmwater spe-
cies can still be good in
several area lakes, including
Ollala Reservoir, Mercer
Lake, Siltcoos Lake and
Tahkenitch Lake.
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 bob-
ber 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.
