The fly-only area of the North Umpqua is very good with large wet flies and dark patterns producing best. A number of summer steel head are in the river but have not begun to strike. Water is still quite high with upstream construction work resulting in some turbidity. The fast water areas of the upper main Umpqua are holding many shad, but very few anglers are seeking them. Salmon fishing in Coos bay fair to good. Early rhorning tides best. Striped bass angling on mud flats between McCullough and Railroad bridge fair to good. Incoming tides are best. Trout angling in Coos and Co quille riversj and their tribu taries is only fair. Trout and sal mon fishing in all south coastal waters is very slow. Trout fishing remains good in nearly all waters of the Rogue watershed. Hot spots are the Union creek area and the upper Rogue from Shady Cove to Pey ton bridge. Good catches con tinue to be made on the upper Applegate in the vicinity of Cop per and Carberry creeks near Carberry forest camp. League Leaders (By United Press) NATIONAL LEAGUE Player & Club G.
