Fishing
from 1B
River estuary and river
through the summer
months.
SILETZ RIVER: sum-
mer steelhead, Spring
Chinook, cutthroat trout-
Summer steelhead fishing
has been slow so far this
year on the Siletz River.
High water and cooler
temperatures have disrupt-
ed the typical migration
pattern of these fish and
they are starting to move
throughout the system
with the recent warm and
dry conditions. Expect
things to be a little later
this year and fishing to
improve in the next couple
weeks as the river drops
and warms up.
Spring Chinook fishing
has also been slow so far
this year but a few fish are
being caught in the lower
portions of the river.
SOLVE
from 1B
volunteer event, and
brings
together
Oregonians at over 140
environmental service
projects across the state.
Anglers are reminded that
the bag limit has been
changed for the 2020
spring Chinook season to
1 fish per day and 1 for the
year. Check the regulation
updates for details.
Cutthroat trout fishing
is open in the Siletz basin
and good trout fishing
opportunities will remain
through the summer
months.
WILSON RIVER:
Steelhead, cutthroat trout
The Wilson River gets a
good summer steelhead
return and has great bank
access all along Hwy 6 on
the state forest land. It’s
still early and fishing has
been slow thus far, but
there are probably some
fish around and the run
should improve through
the summer.
YAQUINA RIVER:
Cutthroat trout
Trout fishing opened in
the Yaquina/Big Elk basin
May 22. The Yaquina and
Big Elk have great cut-
throat trout fishing oppor-
tunities throughout the
estuary/river through the
summer months.
COOS RIVER BASIN:
Marine species, cutthroat
trout
Anglers have been
catching a few rockfish in
the lower Coos Bay estu-
ary while fishing along the
jetty and submerged rock
structures. The recent late
morning/afternoon winds
can make it difficult to fish
on the estuary. The daily
bag limit for marine fish is
5 of which only one can be
a copper, quillback or
China rockfish. Anglers
are also allowed 2 lingcod
per day.
The harvest of cabezon
will not open until July 1.
Trout fishing in streams
and rivers opened May 22.
Anglers fishing in streams
and rivers above tidewater
are restricted to us flies
and lures through the end
of August. With the recent
hot weather, fishing will be
best in the mornings and
late evenings.
TENMILE LAKES:
Trout, warmwater species,
largemouth bass
Largemouth bass have
completed spawning in
Tenmile Lakes. Bass are
now spread out between
shallow water and deeper
water. Bass can be caught
on a variety of tactics like
topwater lures, jigs, swim-
baits and Senkos.
Bluegills are becoming
very active in some parts
of the lake especially along
the edges of weedlines.
Bluegills can be caught on
small jigs, worms on a
small hook, or even on
small wet flies and pop-
pers.
Yellow perch will be
transitioning to summer
patterns soon, which
means anglers should start
fishing the outside edges
of the weedlines in 7-12
feet of water.
Trout fishing has slowed
down with the warmer
water temperatures.
Anglers will have the best
success fishing for trout in
the deeper water and troll-
ing slowly.
UMPQUA RIVER,
SOUTH: Bass
Bass fishing throughout
the South should be good.
PACIFIC OCEAN &
BEACHES: Bottomfish,
salmon, halibut, surfperch
Douglas County Parks
are closed but they state
that the ramps are still
open which would include
those in Winchester Bay.
Bottomfishing is now
open to fish at all depths.
Fishing for lingcod has
been good when anglers
can get out on the ocean.
The daily bag limit for
marine fish is 5 of which
only one can be a copper,
quillback or China rock-
fish. Anglers are also
allowed 2 lingcod per day.
The harvest of cabezon
will not open until July 1.
Anglers are also allowed
2 lingcod per day. The
harvest of cabezon will not
open until July 1.
Anglers may also
choose to fish the offshore
longleader fishery outside
of the 40-fathom regulato-
ry line, which is open year
round. The longleader
fishery has a daily bag
limit of 10 fish made of
yellowtail, widow, canary,
blue, deacon, redstripe,
greenstripe, silvergray,
chillipepper, and bocaccio
rockfish.
No other groundfish are
allowed and offshore long-
leader fishing trips cannot
be combined with tradi-
tional bottomfish, flatfish
or halibut trips.
Projects focus on clean-
ing up litter, planting
native species in antic-
ipation of the high pol-
lination season, and re-
moving invasive species
that are a detriment to
the vitality of our local
natural areas.
As Oregon took safe-
ty measures to pro-
tect against the peak
of COVID-19, SOLVE
made the difficult deci-
sion to postpone both
events.
Months later, with the
state reopening, it is ap-
parent that volunteer-
ism is needed now more
than ever before, and
SOLVE is ready.
The Summer Beach
Cleanup Series will be
held from July through
August and SOLVE IT
for Oregon will be held
Aug. 1–15.
Each event series will
support outdoor vol-
unteerism that combats
some of Oregon’s most
pressing environmental
issues.
Both event series will
have new safety mea-
sures in place, designed
to keep volunteers and
community members
healthy. If you are inter-
ested in hosting a beach
cleanup, inland clean-
up, or restoration event,
contact SOLVE at info@
solveoregon.org to ex-
press your project idea
and learn ways SOLVE
can support your efforts.
SOLVE is a statewide
nonprofit organization
that brings people to-
gether to improve our
environment and build a
legacy of stewardship.
Since 1969, the orga-
nization has grown from
a small, grassroots or-
ganization to a national
model for volunteer ac-
tion.
Today, SOLVE mobi-
lizes and trains tens of
thousands of volunteers
of all ages across Oregon
to clean and restore our
neighborhoods and nat-
ural areas, and to build a
legacy of stewardship for
our state and future gen-
erations.

Boating
sobriety testing.
Officers have already
arrested three people for
BUII this year and at least
two fatalities appear to
have involved alcohol or
drugs.
“Overall,
recreational
boating is safe if boaters
wear life jackets, boat sober
and keep a sharp lookout.
Waterways are becom-
ing more crowded with a
variety of mixed boating
and other activities, so it’s
important to pay attention
to what’s going on around
you and to follow the navi-
gation rules of the road.
“If boaters changed two
things; wear life jackets
and abstain from impair-
ing substances, accidents
would be rare,” says Henry,
who adds that Oregon is
already facing a high num-
ber of boating fatalities this
year just from cold water
and life jackets not being
worn.
“We really want to keep
alcohol and drugs out of
the mix, or we’ll be at re-
cord high fatalities for
2020,” says Henry. “We
want to ensure that boating
remains safe and fun.”
Henry goes on to say,
“The public is our ally in
safe boating. If you see
an impaired operator or
someone who is operat-
ing in a way that threatens
others’ safety, call 911 and
report it.
“That’s how we can work
together to save lives.”

Little
tackles; their decision on
whom to block start the
triple option. Without the
right block, the running
game goes nowhere.
Dave made the right de-
cisions. If the play was on
the other side, Dave would
consistently be downfi eld
blocking defensive backs.
Defensively, Dave would
constantly be the low man
against his opponent.
Th is position gave him
the leverage he needed to
disrupt the opponents’ of-
fense. He was fast enough
to pressure the quarter-
back or pursue downfi eld
aft er the ball carrier. He
was able to do this for the
entire game because of his
practice eff orts. Starting
both ways left little time
for rest and the develop-
ment of endurance to go
full speed on every play.
Dave’s play on the line
earned him all-state rec-
ognition on both sides of
the line. Aft er graduation,
Dave continued to excel in
football. He attended the
perennial powerhouse of
the NAIA Division II Lin-
fi eld College in McMinn-
ville, Ore. He was the start-
ing tackle when Linfi eld
won a National Champi-
onship in 1982. It was the
fi rst National Champion-
ship for the Wildcats of
Linfi eld.
Dave played for Linfi eld
for four of the 64 years
Linfi eld has recorded a
winning record. Th is is
longest streak of any foot-
ball team in the nation —
at any level.
Dave came back to Flor-
ence to help continue the
Viking football tradition.
Even though he had but a
few weeks with each team,
his presence was felt for
two undefeated JV foot-
ball seasons. I appreciated
his time and eff ort even if
for just a short time.
Dave was also a multi-
sport athlete. His play on
the basketball court was
strength in defense and
rebounding. He was hard
to move. In the spring,
Dave used his time to
contribute to a strong Vi-
king track team. Th e 1979
track team came home
from Hayward Field with
a state title during Dave’s
senior season.
Speaking of track, my
next column will be about
the school record holder
in the girls shot put: Mary
Jacobson. Her record still
stands 50 years later.

In 1989, Dave was once
again the JV line coach.
Once again, dry weath-
er brought about another
season of forest fi res. Dave
was soon on the fi re lines.
When the season ended,
Dave came to my house.
He brought with him gift s
for my three children, my
wife and a folding metal
clip board for me. I used
that clipboard for the next
20 years I coached.
I say this because that
is the type of person Dave
Lorenz was. Off ensive line-
men seldom get mentioned
in the newspapers follow-
ing the football game. His

still in the all-time top 10
rushing teams. Th e veer
