2B | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2019 | SIUSLAW NEWS G IVE THE GIFT OF O REGON S TATE P ARKS FOR THE HOLIDAYS Physicians Mutual Insurance Company This holiday season, give the gift of unlimited access to Oregon’s state parks with an annual day- use parking permit. From now through Dec. 31, holi- day shoppers can buy annual parking permits for only $25--that’s $5 off the regular price of $30. “This is the only time we discount the annual pass,” said Lisa Sumption, direc- tor of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). “What better way to celebrate the holidays than with the gift that encourages adventure in Oregon’s special places?” Purchasing these passes is easy — buy them online at store.oregonstateparks. org, along with branded holiday gift gear, such as water bottles, T-shirts and hoodies. Select merchan- dise is also on sale during the month of December. Parking permits are also sold at major OPRD offic- es, some state park friends’ group stores and selected local businesses through- out the state. For a com- plete list of vendors, visit oregonstateparks.org. Parking costs $5 a day at 25 Oregon State Parks unless you have a 12- or 24-month parking permit or a same-day camping receipt. The 24-month pass is $50. The permits are trans- ferable from vehicle to vehicle. Visitors are the single Fishing temperatures cool down for the winter. Siltcoos also gets stocked rainbow trout, check the stocking sched- ule for numbers and dates of stockings. Coho fishing has been slow in Siltcoos and Tahkenitch so far this year. The dry, clear, and cold weather pattern will slow the number of fish coming into the lakes, but it should pick up when the next big rainstorm comes in. After the next big rain event the fishing should be good through November and into December. Reminder: Retention of wild Coho is still allowed for the 2019 season, 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. WILSON RIVER: Chinook The rains early this week should have gotten fall Chinook moving upriver and throughout the fishery. Although past the peak of the run, the Wilson is known to get some late fish and there will be a few bright Chinook well into December. Anglers are reminded that this year’s bag limit for wild Chinook is 1 per day and 5 per year from the North coast aggregate (Necanicum River to Salmon River). Trout fishing closed Oct. 31. YAQUINA RIVER: Fall Chinook Fall Chinook fishing has been good on the Yaquina River but slowed down last week. Low, clear, and cold conditions this week will have fish staging in the upper tidewater waiting for the next rain event. With no rain in the extend- ed forecast expect more of the same for the next few weeks. 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. TENMILE CREEK: Trout Trout fishing is closed in rivers and streams until May 22, 2020. Are Your Heels Ready to Party?

Fish will start to stage in the estuary again waiting for the next big rain event. With no considerable rain in the extended forecast, expect more of the same until we get a weather change. Fish are now spread throughout the Siletz River from the estu- ary up to the deadline located at Illahee boat ramp. Summer steelhead fish- ing continues to be slow on the Siletz and the sea- son is winding down and almost done for the year. There are a few fish being caught in the lower gorge area and fishing pressure continues to be very low. Hatchery fish are released at Twin Bridges and Moonshine Park. Many anglers fish the upper “gorge” area for these hard-fighting fish. Bobber fishing with jigs/ bait, casting lures, and drift fishing are great tech- niques to catch a Siletz summer steelhead. 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 week- days. If anglers do walk in, they can park at the one- mile gate and start from there. SILTC O OS & TAHKENITCH LAKES: warmwater species, cut- throat and rainbow trout Warmwater fishing is slowing down on Siltcoos and Tahkenitch and is done for the season.
