2B | WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2019 | SIUSLAW NEWS Viks from 1B 8 201 VOTED Fishing from 1B SIUSLAW RIVER: Fall Chinook, cutthroat trout Fall Chinook fishing has been fair on the Siuslaw River. Recent rains have raised the river and moved many of the fish holding in tidewater up into the river. Both bank and boat anglers should have good conditions early this week to catch a Siuslaw River Chinook. Dry conditions later this week will slow migration and start to hold fish throughout the river and the upper tidewater areas. *Reminder: Lake Creek (a tributary of the Siuslaw River) is closed for the fall salmon season to protect the forecasted low number of returning 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). No wild coho retention for the 2019 season. Trout fishing in streams is open until Oct. 31. Late summer and fall are typi- cally good times to target Football from 1B Valley (8-0). For Mapleton, it had been 17 years since prac- tices had continued far enough into the season that practices required the field lights after the annual time change. Ironically, Mapleton’s final game was played in broad daylight last Saturday, in a high-scor- ing battle with the Hornets that eventually eneded with the Sailors stung 86-50. Mapleton finished with a 6-4 overall record and went 3-2 in league, ending with a No. 12 ranking in the state 1A division. Final stats from Saturday’s game were unavailable at press time, but there will be a final season wrap-up for both teams in this Saturday’s sports section. F BEST O E The girls team had other standouts as well. “Chloe Madden had an unbelievable performance. She had a PR, and it’s tough to PR under those condi- tions because there’s a lot of pressure. But she came through,” Johnson said. Madden finished in 19th place with a time of 19:54, and was running in a pack with Brea Blankenship (19:52, 18th place) and Rylee Colton (17th place, 19:44). Gracie Freudenthal fin- ished out the top 30 with a time of 20:17.1, followed by Anne Wartnik in 31st with a time of 20:17.7. “No question we have a lot to be proud of,” Johnson said. “We had four girls in the top 19, and that’s nor- mally enough. We had five in the top 30. That’s nor- mally enough, it just wasn’t enough on Saturday.” On the boys’ side, the team took sixth, which improved over last year’s showing of eighth place. Saturday’s race was a battle between a whole host of strong schools, from Philomath to Sisters to Marist. “Brendon had a great race,” Johnson said. “He executed the race strategy perfectly, working his way up through the field. He beat the district champion F LO E N C R 541•999•6078 PETERSENAUTODETAIL @GMAIL.COM FACEBOOK.COM/PETERSENAUTODETAIL COURTESY PHOTO BY MARCIA NORTHROP The Siuslaw cross country girls and boys teams, along with coaching staff from Marist at the last cor- ner there. It was a great race for Brendon for his senior year.” Jenson took fifth overall, with a time of 16:14.7. The next Siuslaw runner to cross the finish line was freshman Samuel Ulrich, who came in 26th with a time of 16:47.3, followed by freshman Kyle Hughes in 37th with a time of 17:01.7. “You’re first time at a state meet, it’s difficult. There’s no way to prepare anyone for what the pres- sure is like. It’s palpable,” Johnson said. Senior Jared Northrop finished his career with a personal best, coming in 46th in 17:18.8. “He had a great race,” Johnson said. Overall, Johnson felt Siuslaw Cross Country “Had a great season. Anytime you can walk away with a championship, you have to be happy. We had a great season. They’re great kids. This is probably the nicest group of kids I’ve ever coached. They’re fun to be around and they work hard. This is a year we can be proud of to be sure.” As for next year, both teams will be losing some strong runners to gradua- tion. “This has been a really successful senior class of kids. We have to do some work. A lot of the teams that were competitive this year will have the same lineup next year.” Still, Johnson thinks they’ll be competitive. “We’ll have to keep training and working hard on the boys’ side. I think we will be in that trophy hunt. On the girls’ side, we’ve got a couple of incoming freshmen who are going to be thrown to the wolves a little bit. But with Brea, Rylee and Gracie, we’ll be as good as any team coming back. We just have to add to that core and we’ll be competi- tive again.” sea-run cutthroat in the Siuslaw River.

SILTCOOS & TAHKENITCH LAKES: Warmwater species, cut- throat and rainbow trout Warmwater fishing is slowing down on Siltcoos and Tahkenitch and is almost done for the sea- son. Many warmwater fish will go into their winter hibernating behavior as the water temperatures cool down for the winter. Siltcoos also gets stocked rainbow trout, check the stocking sched- ule for numbers and dates of stockings. Fishing has been slow so far but last week’s rainstorms should move fish up the rivers and into the lake systems. *Reminder: Retention of wild Coho is still allowed for the 2019 sea- son, 1 wild adult Coho per day (as well as 1 jack per day) and 5 adult Coho for the year in aggregate with Siltcoos, Tahkenitch, and Tenmile Lakes.
