Hello Anglers!

Here's a couple of shots of chinook from the river from the last few days. I've been fishing Siltcoos Lake the last couple of days and fishing is HOT. Several limits have been taken in the vicinity of Maple Arm. Troll plugs or cast spinners. Here's this week's Siuslaw News article....

Trolling for Coho Salmon In the Lakes

Within the next few weeks, Coho salmon will start moving into Siltcoos and Tahkenitch Lakes in greater numbers. We here on the central coast are fortunate enough to have the only wild Coho fishery in Oregon. These fish are aggressive and easier to catch than their larger cousins (Chinook).

Why Trolling?
Trolling is the best way to cover water and increase your chances of finding aggressive fish. You constantly have your offering in the water and at the level where fish will find it. Trolling also puts your presentation down to the right depth quickly and efficiently.

Rods, Reels and Line
When trolling, consider using a medium action rod/reel combination spooled with 15 lb. test line. A medium action rod allows for good plug action and makes for a fun fight once a salmon is hooked. I use a 7 ft. rod so I can net the fish easily by myself. If you use a longer rod, it makes netting difficult. Levelwind or baitcasting reels are made for trolling. Attach a barrel swivel to the main line and attach 4 feet of lighter leader (10 or 12 lb. test). Again, lighter line (and tackle) allows for greater plug movement.

What Plugs To Use
While many different plugs and spinners work, I use Wiggle Warts™, Hot Shots™ and Brad’s Wigglers™ more than any other. I have a selection of colors including pink, orange, blue/silver, green/silver and silver. I recommend changing colors often to find the plug the fish are taking. In order to change plugs without re-tying, tie a locking snap or snap swivel on the end of your leader.

Where To Look for Fish
The first thing to do is look at a map of the lake you’ll be fishing. Notice the “arms” or coves of the lake into which tributaries drain. That’s where the salmon will eventually end up – they’re going to head up those tributaries to spawn. The salmon will mill around in these arms until enough rain falls to raise stream levels. On one lake, look for names such as Fiddle and Maple, and on another lake look for names like Five Mile and Leitel. These names will point you in the right direction.

Final Thoughts
Take a buddy or two fishing with you. You can run different plugs and find what the fish want. Another great location to find fish is in the lake adjacent to the outlet. All fish heading into the lake will be moving right past you (at some point). Try letting out 40-60’ of line when trolling. This will maximize the depth at which the plug will dive and keep you out of the weeds.

See you on the water,

or you can go for higher quality tackle and spend hundreds or thousands.

If it is lower the Studio365 will tell you and let you know that it
will not sound well. Up All Night Wit Brenda White can be heard on
Thursday night, live, beginning at 9:00 p. Given the manner in which the internet and the World
Wide Web have invaded our lives over the past many years,
it is hardly surprising that music or rather the radio would
be one of the areas being dominated by the internet.

The fishfinder approximates where the fish are by measuring the amount of time between when the beam was
sent out and when it registered the hit. Never dawned on me that they might want to
try it, so I was surprised one day in the
late-eighties when my son called and said they wanted to
go fishing. Most of the fishable water in the
upper river is boulder runs in deep canyons and it is scenic.

As the medium is not limited to any particular geographical or demographic region, advertising on internet radio would
give the business an international audience
base. This is true simulation of the traditional
transmission of radio and television programs, as it is only a
station house music on your PC. Turn on iheartradio and then look at a different app,
your station will keep playing and you can control everything from the "running apps" menu (double-click
the home button).

Around 150 games in total, but that's relatively small compared to our users. Port forwarding lets you specify which ports the game needs to perform at it's
best. It is recommended that the golfers select those putters with which the golfers feel good and works well with their

This is because it gives you more precise targeting opportunities, lets you combine
audio ads with synchronized banners and buttons to maximize visibility
and retain attention, lets your listeners take an immediate action (after
all, they are only a click away from your site) and puts you in control of your advertising campaign (you can pay the service provider on the basis of the actual number of
impressions). "It's hard to believe, " says Randy Gilbert, host of “The

Cooking one-pot meals is the way to go when it comes to cold weather camping, so be sure to pack a cast iron dutch oven before you head out for your camping adventure.
As one might have guessed, Si's little nap turns into an overnight stay at Phil and Kay's.
Even though most liquid fuel stoves are more powerful and provide great
heat output than canister stoves, they are not as convenient.

Perfect pan size we encourage you take them back to your hotel and have them
prepared. The 360 Series from Aqua-Vu is specifically designed with a
rugged encasement for ice fishing. If the fish are not hitting on your main crappie jigs you may
need to switch to live bait or a combination of live and artificial baits.

But with Nexus Radio the only settings you have to
worry about are where you want to save your files and what file type you want to save it as.
