open year-round for steelhead.
Summer steelhead fishing con-
tinues to be slow so far this
season but did pick up last
week with some better fishing.
Although it has been a slow
year so far, anglers are catching
summer steelhead everyday
primarily in the gorge area and
pressure continues to be light.
The 4.0 mile bridge (aka
Steel Bridge) in the Siletz gorge
is open to motorized vehicles,
but is only open to public vehi-
cles on the weekend.
Anglers can walk/bike in
the road during the weekdays.
If anglers do walk in they can
park at the one mile gate and
start from there.

H ALL OF F AME INDUCTS NEW CLASS

Siuslaw News
T
he Siuslaw High
School Hall of
Fame held its
ninth-annual induction
ceremony last Friday
night, where five indi-
viduals and four teams
received honors: Scott
Parker (1981), Andy
Rodet (1992), Bruce
Plaep (1972), Raelyn
Robinson (2010), Caley
Nordahl (2001), the
boys 4x100-meter relay
teams for 1996 and 1997
and the 1997 girls 4x100
relay state championship
team.
“If this was the very first
year of the Siuslaw Hall of
Fame, and you look at the
inductees we have tonight,
it’s unbelievable,” said
Siuslaw’s Athletic Director
and Hall of Fame Chairman
Chris Johnson. “We have the
best shot putter in school
history, arguably the best
football player in school his-
tory, the only person to win
two horizontal jumps in
school history, one of the
greatest athletes that I’ve ever
seen coached, probably the
greatest distance runner in
school history and four
unbelievable relay teams …
The fact that it took nine
years to get you here has
nothing to do with how great
you are — it just has to do
with the rich tradition of
Siuslaw Athletics. It’s unbe-
lievable.”
Current shot put coach
Max Perry introduced 1972
alumni Bruce Plaep, the
three-sport athlete who
played football, basketball
and track, in which he still
holds the record for shot put
(51-1).
“As a young thrower grow-
ing up in Florence, I remem-
ber hearing the legend of the
Siuslaw boys shot put record.
People wanted it broken,”
Perry said. “Chris Johnson’s
first year as a track coach
offered any thrower who
broke the school record a
steak dinner, and I really
wanted that steak dinner …
Hundreds of people attempt-
ed this challenge, but
they all failed. In the
years since Bruce set that
record of 52 feet, 1 1/2
inches, Siuslaw has
thrown its strongest ath-
letes at it. We’ve had
numerous all-state foot-
ball players, future colle-
giate all-Americans, all
comers doing their best
to break the record for
that steak dinner. It’s
withstood so many
assaults over the years
and remains unbroken.”
As Plaep came up to
give his speech, Perry hand-
ed him a gift certificate for a
steak dinner as the crowd
laughed.
“Forty-seven years ago —
17,250 days ago — I threw
that throw,” Plaep said. “I’m
really shocked to see that it’s
still standing, especially with
some of these bigger kids
that have gone through. ...
I’m honored and thank you
very much.”
Former football coach
Steve Galbraith introduced
Scott Parker, who was a
standout on Siuslaw’s 1981
2A championship football
team.
“His sophomore year, I
thought to myself, ‘This kid
is going to be something

Sport anglers fishing from
boats can no longer retain
cabezon effective 12:01 a.m. on
Friday, Aug. 16. This restriction
does not impact shore-based
fishing.
The boat-based recreational
harvest of cabezon is approach-
ing the quota, so prohibiting
retention of this species is nec-
essary to keep total year-end
impacts within the 16.1-mt
quota.
Anglers have been encoun-
tering more cabezon this sum-
mer and the average weight is
up again this year. Those fish-
ing from shore may still retain
a 1-fish sub-bag limit of legal
sized cabezon (16 inches or
greater).
Sport anglers fishing from
boats who catch a cabezon after
Aug. 15 need to release it.
Cabezon have an excellent
survival rate (93 percent) when
released. Unlike rockfish, cabe-
zon do not have a swim bladder,
and therefore do not suffer from
barotrauma (expansion or rup-
ture of the swim bladder when
fish are brought up from deep
waters) that can cause stress, in-
jury and sometimes death.
Most released cabezon sur-
vive and even reproduce again.
