That would be the only trip the team would make to the end zone that night, with the Eagle’s flocking the Viks 63-7.

Check the stocking schedule online for dates and locations of stockings. Warmwater fisheries is still good in several lakes around the Florence area including: Siltcoos, Tahkenitch, Mercer and Munsel. SIUSLAW RIVER: Fall Chinook, cutthroat trout Fall Chinook fishing con- tinues to be fair to good on the Siuslaw. Last week’s rain pushed some fish up into the river but there are still plenty of fish around in the estuary. Anglers are catching fish on each tide and it should con- tinue to improve as we head into October. The beginning of September through the month of October are typical- ly the best times to catch a Siuslaw River Chinook. Due to low forecasted fall Chinook returns, this year’s daily bag limit has been reduced to 1 wild Chinook per day and 5 per year for the mid-coast aggregate (Siletz River to Siuslaw River). Lake Creek (a tributary of the Siuslaw River) will be closed for the fall Chinook season to protect the forecast- ed low number of returning fish. No wild coho retention for the 2019 season. Trout fishing in streams is open until Oct. 31. Late sum- mer and fall are typically good times to target sea-run cut- throat in the Siuslaw River. Check the regulations for open areas and gear restric- tions. SILTCOOS & TAHKENITCH LAKES: Warmwater species, cutthroat and rainbow trout Warmwater fishing has been good on Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes as well as many other lakes in the Florence area.
