Once again, I go to my

In it, Gerry Bertier (spoiler

their Olympics.

Melissa Brandt played on
the Siuslaw JV basketball
team I coached. She was
a hard worker and helped
make her teammates bet-

year, she had a car accident
and was paralyzed from the
waist down.
But she was far from be-

When she returned to
school, I became her trans-

In addition, she attended

It became our practice to

Winter steelhead fishing
has been fair on the Alsea.
A good number of fish
showed up at the Alsea
hatchery trap after the
recent rains. The numbers
of later returning right
maxillary clipped fish
should increase with each
rain event for the rest of
January through the month
of March.
Cold weather, low flows,
and clear water has slowed
down the fishing this week
but the next weather system
hitting on Thursday should
warms things up and get
more fishing heading
upstream to the hatchery
located on the NF Alsea.
The Alsea still gets a
good amount of the early
returning stock that peaks
in December and January,
as well as a later stock that
peaks in February and
March. Expect more fish to
show up with each rise in
the river level from now
through April.
