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

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.

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

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.”

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.
