Come see Jim about this 2020 Transit! Siuslaw from 1B throughout the second quarter and enter half- time 15-14, then remain ahead 26-25 heading into the final period. The fourth quarter saw Sailors from 1B Last night (after press deadlines), Mapleton a small rally by the Falcons, who were able to edge out the Viks 31-30 with less than four min- utes remaining. Unfortunately for Siuslaw, foul trouble began to add up, keeping the ball firmly on Elmira’s side during the last few minutes —allowing the Falcons to extend their lead. Siuslaw was able to regain possession in the final seconds for a chance to tie the game and force it into overtime, but Siuslaw came up short as Elmira held on for a 35-31 win. Tuesday’s matchup with the Lions tips off 5:45 p.m. with the girls’ game, followed by the boys at 7:15 p.m. wrapped up its busy week on the road once again, this time in McKenzie for a make-up game that had been canceled earlier in the season due to snow. This Tuesday, the Sail- ors are again on the road to begin the week at Crow before re-turning to their home hardwood Thurs- day to host McKenzie. The girls will tipoff first in both matchups at 5:30, followed by the boys at 7 p.m. River in December and peak January through March. Fishing has been fair so far this year but should get better as the season progresses into January. The river will be high and off color after this week’s rainstorms but will be dropping back into shape next week. There will be good opportunities for boat and bank anglers around the popular Whitaker Creek area. Steelhead fishing has been slow so far this season but should pick up with fore- casted rainstorms. SILTCOOS & TAHKENITCH LAKES: Coho Coho fishing closed Dec. 31 in Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes but both will be stocked with trout in February. Check the ODFW website online for stocking dates and loca- tions. TENMILE LAKES: Trout, warmwater species, largemouth bass bass anglers will need to slow down their presentation as the water temperatures continue to drop. Anglers are catching most of the bass along the deeper weed lines and submerged trees. Yellow perch are cruis- ing on the deep-water mud flats. Most of the fish are under 10-inches long but anglers are catching a few 12 inch-plus fish. Trout anglers continue to troll for trout. A few trout have been caught on bait by anglers targeting yellow perch. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: Steelhead The mainstem South has reopened. Fishing usually picks up in January and there should be a few around in the lower sections. The river may be in decent shape with some rain in the fore- cast. Make sure to turn in snouts from hatchery fish for a chance to win a gift card. ALSEA RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fishing has been fair over the last few weeks. After the recent rainstorms anglers caught fish throughout the system, all the way up to the hatchery located on the NF Alsea. Dry conditions have slowed fishing again this last week but forecasted rainstorms should get fish moving throughout the system again and create better conditions for win- ter steelheading. When the river starts to drop back into shape there will be good opportunities for both boat and bank anglers. The NF Alsea offers good bank access for the bank angler. The Alsea River receives two different stocks of hatchery steelhead, one “traditional” stock that is an early returner and peaks in December/ January and a later return- ing wild broodstock that peaks January-March. These two stocks combine to provide winter steel- head fishing opportunities from late November through March. Trout fishing in streams will reopen on May 22, 2020. SALMON RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fishing is open on the Salmon River. The majority of the winter steelhead on the Salmon River are wild and the run usually peaks around mid-December through February. SILETZ RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fishing has been fair for the last few weeks on the Siletz River. Low and clear con- ditions have slowed things down but forecasted storms should bring the river back up and into good fishing shape. Expect fish to be spread throughout the system from tidewater up to the gorge. Winter steelhead fishing typical- ly peaks January through March. The 4-mile bridge (aka Steel Bridge) in the Siletz gorge is open to motor- ized vehicles but is only open to public vehicles 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. YAQUINA RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead is open on the Yaquina and Big Elk systems for the season.
