SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 2019 | 3B Track from 1B In addition, both 4x400-meter relay teams won their events. The Lady Viking team of Naomi Shoji, Anna Wartnik, Gra- cie Freudenthal and Ran- now won in 4:19.72. For the boys, Jensen, Johnson, Jennings and Ae- dan Lawrence teamed up for the win in 3:50.35. Today, Siuslaw is at the Prefontaine Rotary Invi- tational in Coos Bay, with the Vikings on the road at Mapleton High School Tuesday. They will return to host the annual Central Coast Invitational on Fri- day, beginning at 4 p.m. Little from 1B adjust their pitching rotations de- pending on their opponents. Gen- erally, a coach will start their num- ber one pitcher against the toughest team. Rain may alter the team schedule and take away the planned pitching rotation. It is the responsibility of the home team to decide if their fi eld is playable. Th is was diffi cult for me when I coached. Our fi eld was located below the Florence Events Center. If the rain was on again-off again, my prep time and lunch time meant driving to the fi eld to determine readiness. Notifying our opponents before SALMON RIVER: Fishing from 1B have been catching a few fish every day. Numbers are still low at Alsea hatchery but the fishing continues to be fair overall. The later returning right maxillary clipped fish will continue to return through April. The earlier returning left maxillary clipped fish are past peak and numbers will continue to decrease for the rest of the season. Expect more fish to show up with each rise in the river level from now through April. Bobber fishing with jigs/bait, drift fishing, and casting lures are all effective ways to catch these hard fighting fish. Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22. Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fishing closed on the Salmon River on March 31. Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22. SILETZ RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fishing has been slow on the Siletz. Low and clear conditions and bright sunny skies have made for some tough condi- tions. Water temperatures are warming up and fish activity and movement is increasing throughout the basin. Anglers are starting to catch more wild fish in the basin as well, remember to handle these wild fish with care and immediately release them back into the river. January is typically when they left their school meant an ear- ly decision. Driving hours to play a game only to show up and have it cancelled was a big responsibility. In the spring of 1970, the War- renton School Board elected to re- instate baseball as a spring sport. Th e decision was to play a non-con- ference schedule. It gave me an op- portunity to turn in my track spikes for baseball cleats. It was a much better alternative for me. It just so happens the spring of 1970 was a very good year for fl owers. We were scheduled for 17 games; we played just fi ve due to rainouts. When our non-confer- ence games were rained out, our opponents had to reschedule league games. Th ey did not have available days things heat up and continue through April. Side drifting, bobber dog- ging, bobber fishing with jigs, and casting lures are all great techniques to catch winter steelhead. Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead Fishing on the Wilson has been moderate, despite the challenging conditions, with some fish being caught. Catch-and-release only for wild fish. The Wilson is predicted to start rising on Friday and peak under 6 feet on Sunday afternoon. There have been fish available and the rain could get fish moving and more active. There are hatchery and wild fish available through- to get us back on schedule. Th e rainouts did allow me enough time between games to start all our games. Th irty-three years later, my daughter, Charnae, would also start all the games for the Siuslaw varsi- ty soft ball team. She did pitch more than fi ve games. If a game begins and the weather changes to intermittent showers, it is the responsibility of the umpires to decide playability. If a game is called before fi ve complete innings, the rescheduled game is replayed from the start. Some coaches used tactics to ei- ther speed up the game or slow it down, depending on whether or not they were ahead or behind on the scoreboard. Back in “the day,” no team was out the system, and bright fish still coming in (catch- and-release only for wilds). Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22. YAQUINA RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead closed on the Yaquina and Big Elk on March 31. Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22. COOS RIVER BASIN: Winter steelhead Steelhead returns should begin to drop off as the month progresses, and some of the steelhead encountered will be spawned out. Trout fishing in streams and rivers will open May 22, while lakes in the basin are open year-round. TENMILE LAKES: Trout, warmwater species, largemouth bass better at these strategies than Ban- don. Unfortunately, there are no specifi c rules on stalling to get a game called due to the rain. If you or your children ever played Florence Junior Baseball, you would have seen Rick and Cor- rine Gehlke doing everything they possibly could to get the fi elds at Miller Park ready for the games. Seeing them in rubber boots and pushing wheelbarrows of sand to spread on the fi elds was a common sight. Th ere were even times when either gas or diesel was burned to try and dry the base paths. Watching soft ball or baseball on the Oregon coast requires warm clothes and at times an umbrella to stay dry — even if the players get wet. Tenmile Lakes should start giving up some nice holdover trout in the coming weeks; some can measure over 17-inches long. Fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie and brown bullhead catfish should begin to “turn on” with spring weather and lon- ger days. Yellow perch fishing should also pick up this time of year, with some fish in the 9- to 12-inch range. Look for yellow perch in the deeper mudflats in the lake. Anglers are using small jigs or a worm on a hook fished near the bottom. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: Winter steelhead The river should be in shape for the weekend. Lots of hatchery fish have been reported this year. Anglers were doing well in the upper sections of the South around Canyonville this past week. WINCHESTER BAY: Bottomfish, perch Fishing in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful. PACIFIC OCEAN and BEACHES: Bottomfish, salmon, halibut, surfperch Bottomfishing has been good when the ocean lays down and anglers have been able to make it out. Bottomfish anglers may now fish at all depths until May 1. Fishing for lingcod and rockfish has been good when the ocean is calm enough to fish. The daily bag limit for marine fish is 5 plus 2 lingcod. The retention of cabezon is closed until July 2019.
