Socks for those in Need Share the Smith Smith says he believes pres- suring teams could help the Lady Vikings fi nd success and improve their win-loss rec-ord. “Th ey are working hard and we’re getting to know each oth- er as we do it,” Smith says. “It’s always a challenge when a new coach comes in, but they are willing to try new things.” For senior Alyssa Richards, who is playing for her third coach aft er transferring from Mapleton her sophomore year, it’s a matter buying into the plan and learning how to execute it.

ALSEA RIVER: Fall Chinook, winter steelhead Due to lower than expected returns and conservation con- cerns, fall Chinook fish-ing is closed on the Alsea upstream of the Hwy. 34 bridge. Below the deadline the bag limit for fall Chinook is reduced to one adult Chinook per day and a limit of 3 from Nov. 1 through the remainder of the season. Very few fish are being caught below the dead- line and fishing continues to be very slow. All wild coho must be released during the 2018 fall salmon season. Winter steelhead fishing is good,” Richards says. “Even though no one likes running, it's going to help us condition for man-to-man defense.” Lindsey Long, a junior now in her third year on varsity, says she feels the hard work is also paying off in other ways. “It’s a bonding kind of thing,” she says. “We’re coming togeth- er. I want to set an example for the underclassmen.” Richards agreed, adding, “Th e juniors and seniors want to help build the program for the next group.” Another key to success that just around the corner. The Alsea River is known for its early returning component that usually gets going around Thanksgiving week-end. The low water will slow migration but fish will start entering the lower river soon. The popular NF Alsea fishery does not open until Dec. 1. Bobber fishing with jigs/bait and cast- ing lures are all effective ways to catch these hard fighting fish. Trout fishing in streams closed Nov. 1. SALMON RIVER: Fall Chinook, winter steelhead Fall Chinook fishing on the Salmon River has been slow this year. Due to lower than expected returns and conser- vation concerns, Chinook fishing above the Salmon River hatchery is closed for the remainder of the 2018 Smith is working on is commu- nication. “We are running a lot of three-on-one, two-on-one and passing drills, which helps us work on fundamentals and communication as we condi- tion,” Smith says. “My goal at every practice is to keep mov- ing.” Th is year, that could mean moving up in the league stand- ings as well. Siuslaw’s fi rst game will be a non-league endowment game, hosted by Mapleton High School on Friday, Nov. 28., be- ginning at 5:30 p.m. season. Below the deadline the bag limit for fall Chinook is reduced to one adult Chinook per day and a limit of 3 from Nov. 1 through the remainder of the season. All wild coho must be released during the 2018 fall salmon season. Winter steelhead fishing is coming soon and opens on Dec. 1. Time to dust off the gear and get things ready for the upcoming season. Trout fishing closed on Nov. 1. SILETZ RIVER: Fall Chinook, winter steelhead Fall Chinook fishing con- tinues to be slow on the Siletz River.
