SIUSLAW RIVER: Fall Chinook, winter steelhead Due to lower than expected returns and con- servation concerns, Fall Chinook fishing on the Siuslaw remains closed upstream of the Tiernan boat ramp (down-stream of Mapleton). Below the dead- line the bag limit for fall Chinook is reduced to one adult Chinook per day and a limit of 3 now through the remainder of the sea- son. Chinook fishing con- tinues to be slow in the open area. All wild coho must be released for the 2018 fall salmon season. Lake Creek, a tributary of the Siuslaw River, is closed for the 2018 fall salmon season. Trout fishing closed Nov. 1. Winter steelhead fishing will open on Dec. 1 and fish will start entering the Si-uslaw system throughout the month of December. ALSEA RIVER: Fall Chinook, winter steelhead Due to lower than expected returns and con- servation concerns, 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 remain- der of the season. Very few fish are being caught below the deadline and fishing continues to be very slow. All wild coho must be released during the 2018 fall salmon season. Winter steelhead fishing is just around the corner. The Alsea River is known for its early returning com- ponent that usually gets going around Thanksgiving weekend. 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 casting lures are all effective ways to catch these hard fighting fish. Dec. 6 • SHS girls BB at J. City HS 3:30 p.m. • SHS boys BB at J.

A total of 20 teams were on hand for the meet, giving Viking wrestlers an opportunity to mix things up with a multitude of Lady Viks nipped by Cubs they proved to be the “immoveable objects” all the way until the champion- ship rounds for 170 pounds and 126 pounds, respectively. Both Vikings went undefeated for their first three matches, including two pins and a technical fall each before being defeated in the title round and finishing second in their weight classes.
