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.
