The We’ve got you COVERED Serving Florence since 1990 NED HICKSON/SIUSLAW NEWS Mapleton senior Evan Moso breaks free for a 71-yard kick-off return for a touchdown Friday. version. Th e Warriors responded, scoring with 1 second left in the period for a 50-42 lead — and what proved to be the fi nal score. Friday, the Sailors will fi nish the regular season at Elkton, beginning at 7 p.m. fishing will improve when we get some cooler weather or a little bit of rain to “stir” things up a bit. Casting spinners, drifting bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective. 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. Trout fishing is open in streams and river. • Note: The 3.5-mile bridge (aka Steel Bridge) in the Siletz gorge is open to motorized vehicles but is only open to public vehicles on the week- end. Anglers can walk/bike in the road during the weekdays. If anglers do walk in they can park at the one-mile gate and start from there. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, trout Summer steelhead are pres- ent, but it looks like numbers are down a little this year. There are steelhead sporadical- ly throughout the system. Low clear water and warm water temperatures can make fishing for summer steelhead chal- lenging, but there can be some good action. 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 success. Warm water temperatures can stress fish and increase hooking mortality, so anglers are encouraged to avoid catch- and-release fishing during the heat of the day. Sea run cutthroat are in the tidewater areas and beginning to move upstream. We’ve had reports of the fishing for them being good this summer. Spinners or flies are good bets for success.

Through Sept. 30, salmon anglers with a two-rod valida- tion will be able to use rods while fishing for Chinook salmon and hatchery Coho salmon in Coos Bay.

The retention of cabezon is no longer allowed for the rest of the year. Fishing for rockfish and greenling inside Coos Bay near the north jetty and other submerged rock structures has been spotty this past week with good fishing one day and poor fishing the next. TENMILE LAKES: Trout, warmwater species, largemouth bass Trout fishing on Tenmile Lakes has slowed down with the best fishing is in the early mornings. Anglers should focus on fishing in deeper water. Fishing for largemouth bass has been good with the best fishing in the early mornings or late evenings.
