According to rumor from Gold
Beach, the Coquille coterie of salmon
fishermen are way ahead of the pro
fessionals down there. Recent count
shows that with last Sunday's catch,
the Coquille fishermen are around
twenty salmon ahead.
No cotnplete reports were gathered
up but to be added to the above catch
es are those of Soren Buus, Jack
Smith and Others who didn’t do bad
ly themselves on Sunday.

Bass fishing continues to be un
satisfactory this year with no good
reports coming from the Bay. Re-

(who by the way spends a few hours
ion the slough every week-end) indi-
. cate bass aren’t what they ought to be.
Tenmile lake, however, Is yielding
I good catches of large perch— large:
110 to 13 inches—and also some nice
I cata. We still think there’s no cat
i just like the Coquille river cat, but
our culinary experts mi fishing cui
sine tell us that If the Lakeside va-
I rlety are handled with care, and fried
! to a nice golden brown, they are Just
| as good. In fact, they say they got
their start from a barrel stolen from
the supply originally shipped to
Southwestern Oregon for the Coquille
river.
The story— and that's all we know
that it is for sure—goes that Jess
Barton, Sr., had had some catfish
shipped down and while waiting on
the S. P. dock at Marshfield some
snooping fisherman got away with
one barrel that got dumped in Ten-
mile lake instead of the Coquille
river.
Be that as It may, there are plenty
of them in the Coquille, and few small
catches are being made once in a
while, in between the rain showers,
on the banks of Fat Elk.
