these hard-fighting fish.
Bobber fishing with jigs/
bait, casting lures, and drift
fishing are great techniques
to catch a Siletz summer
steelhead.
Fishing will improve in
May and peaks mid-June
through July/August and
then continues to produce
In-One Challenges and
more.
Check-in for pre-regis-
tered participants, and on-
site registration for remain-
ing slots begins at 8 a.m.,
with the start of the tourna-
ment set for 10 a.m.
The scramble-style tour-
ney will feature hole-in-one
challenges, closest-to-the-
pin prizes on par-3 holes
and a $5,000 putting con-
test.
Entry forms are available
at Ocean Dunes Golf Links,
3345 Munsel Lake Road,
the Boys & Girls Club (1501
Airport Road) or online at
www.BGCWLC.org.
In addition to golfing,
there will also be the annu-
al helicopter golf ball drop
fundraiser at around 3:30
p.m. at Ocean Dunes on
tournament day.
The grand prize for the
ball closest to (or in the
hole) is $1,500; second prize
is $800 for the ball farthest
away from the hole.
Numbered golf balls are
$5 each.
All proceeds from these
two events will go to sup-
port the Summer Brain
Gain Program, a fun and
engaging way for the club
kids to reduce summer
learning loss.
Not a golfer but want to
help out? Consider spon-
soring a child for the sum-
mer program.
A donation of $100 sends
a child to the summer pro-
gram for a week, which in-
cludes two hot meals and a
snack each day, fun-filled
project-based activities em-
phasizing math and literacy,
and a field trip.

fish until the heavy rains
come in the fall.
The 4.0-mile bridge (aka
Steel Bridge) in the Siletz
gorge is open to motorized
vehicles but is only open to
public vehicles on the
weekend.
Anglers can walk/bike in
the road during the week-
days. If anglers do walk in,
they can park at the one-
mile gate and start from
there.
Trout
fishing
will
re-open on the Siletz next
week on May 22, time to
get the trout gear ready for
the 2019 season.
SILTCOOS
and
TAHKENITCH LAKES:
Warmwater species
Warmwater fishing has
been improving on Siltcoos
and Tahkenitch lakes. The
recent warm weather is
warming up the water and
getting the warmwater fish
more active. The spawning
season is in full swing and
many fish will be found in
the shallows creating some
good fishing opportunities.
Siltcoos also gets stocked
rainbow trout, check the
stocking schedule for num-
bers and dates of stockings.
ALSEA
RIVER:
Cutthroat trout
Trout fishing in streams
opens next week on May
22, time to get the trout
gear ready; winter steel-
head fishing closed for the
season on April 30.
WILSON
RIVER:
Steelhead, Chinook, cut-
throat trout
The summer steelhead
run is starting on the
Wilson River and a few
fish have been caught.
Hopefully the light rain
and cooler temperatures
will improve catch rates
this week.
The run will improve
through this month and
June, and fish will be avail-
able throughout the sum-
mer. Bobber fishing with
jigs/bait/beads, casting
lures, and drift fishing are
great techniques to catch a
summer steelhead.
The river is low and
clear, so fishing light tackle
and starting early are keys
to success in this fishery.
Trout fishing in streams
will reopen May 22.
TENMILE
LAKES:
Trout, warmwater species,
largemouth bass
Conditions should be
prime for bass, crappie,
bluegill, and brown bull-
head catfish angling at this
time. Anglers also use
small jigs or a worm on a
hook fished near the bot-
tom to catch yellow perch
this time of year.
The Tenmile Lakes have
been stocked with legal-
size rainbow trout. Tenmile
Lakes provide some nice
holdover trout this time of
year, and some can mea-
sure over 17-inches long.
Try trolling slowly with a
“wedding ring” type lure,
tipped with a worm, to
catch these larger trout.
UMPQUA
RIVER,
SOUTH: CLOSED
The river is closed to all
fishing during the annual
shutdown from May 1
through May 21. The river
opens to bass and trout
fishing May 22.
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.
Bottomfishing
is
restricted to inside the
40-fathom regulatory line.
Fishing for lingcod and
rockfish has been good
when the ocean is calm
enough to fish. The daily
bag limit for ma-rine fish is
5, plus 2 lingcod. The
retention of cabezon is
closed until July 2019.
Anglers may also choose
to fish the offshore long-
leader fishery outside of
the 40-fathom regulatory
line, which is open year-
round.
The longleader fishery
has a daily bag limit of 10
fish made of yellowtail,
widow, canary, blue, dea-
con, redstripe, greenstripe,
silvergray and bocaccio
rockfish. No other ground-
fish are allowed and off-
shore longleader fishing
trips can not be combined
with traditional bottom-
fish, flatfish or halibut
trips.
Ocean salmon fishing
for Chinook salmon from
Cape Falcon to Humbug
Mt is open. Chinook must
be a minimum of 24-inches
long. The ocean is closed to
coho salmon.
• PACIFIC HALIBUT:
The all-depth halibut sea-
son off the central coast
opened with success for
many anglers, although
fishing was scratchy at
times, and halibut were
reportedly not in the typi-
cal areas.
•
SHORE
AND
ESTUARY
FISHING:
Public piers provide oppor-
tunities to catch surfperch
and baitfish and to drop
crab pots (but check first
for crab health safety clo-
sures).
Surfperch are available
in the surf year-round
along sandy beaches and
rocky shore, with the best
fishing (and safest fishing)
occurring when swells are
small.
Spring is traditionally a
great time to fish for bay
perch. Striped seaperch,
pile perch, wall-eye surf-
perch, white seaperch, and
shiner surfperch can be
found near rocks, docks or
pilings in bays.
Some bay anglers use a
#4 or #6 hook secured
24-30 inches below a 1- to
2-ounce sinker on 8- to
10-pound line.
Baits include sand and
kelp worms, sand shrimp,
clam necks and mussels.
Keep the line close to rocks
or alongside pilings.
• RAZOR CLAMS: For
the Central Coast area, dig-
gers have been able to har-
vest limits on some specific
sandbars, but until the
beaches build up through
the spring, the flat sandy
areas with a good abun-
dance of clams will be
accessible only at tide levels
well below 0.0.
Diggers report mixed
success at Newport beach-
es as well as difficulty see-
ing shows at times.
• BAY CLAMS: Bay
clamming is open along
the entire Oregon Coast
from the Columbia River
to the California border.
Always call the ODA shell-
fish safety hotline at 1-800-
448-2474 before harvesting
for the most current infor-
mation about shellfish
safety closures.
• CRAB: Central coast
crabbing in Alsea and
Yaquina bays has been fair
to moderate by boat with
less success for Dungeness
from shore. In addition to
Dungeness crab, another
Oregon native present in
some of Oregon’s estuaries
is the red rock crab.
Crabbers can retain 24
red rock crabs of any sex or
size.
