Lincoln City — The 30th annual Lincoln City Summer Kite Festival will be “Unleashed” on June 28-29. For two spectacular days on the beach, witness performances by some of the best professional kite fliers in the sport and experience some of the most colorful big show-kites in the world.

The festival takes place both days 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the D-River State Park Wayside in the center of Lincoln City off U.S. Highway 101 and SE First Street. There is no charge for admission, but parking is limited. Additional parking options and shuttle service (Saturday only) will be available. Pick up a map with overflow parking locations and the shuttle route from festival volunteers at the D-River Wayside or visit www.oregoncoast.org.

The festival features Running of the BOLs, a footrace across the beach with each participant harnessed with parachute kites. Cheering the contestants takes place from the sidelines. From the dark side of kite flying, a Rok battle features Rokkaku kites, a traditional Japanese design, where combatants attempt to ground their opponents’ kites.

There will be a hands-on kite making clinic and a short battle workshop to enter into the fray. Kids will be able to enjoy their own kite making experience, a parade down to the beach, meeting featured kite fliers and collecting prizes through the passport program.

“The Kite Festivals are the largest events of the year in Lincoln City, drawing in a crowd of about 15,000 in both the summer and the fall,” says event coordinator Suzanne Treece. “Without the stress of a formal competition, Lincoln City’s festivals offer a more relaxed environment that spectators and participants both enjoy. We are really excited to be unleashing a Rok battle for our 30th Summer Kite Festival.”

To pay or not to pay?

D I G E S T

That’s the Weyerhaeuser question

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS Outdoors Editor

Local hunters will have a decision to make come Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Do they pay to hunt at Weyerhaeuser Millicoma Tree Farm or not?

Weyerhaeuser is tasking this season’s hunters with a $350 bill. It is the first time Weyerhaeuser has chosen to charge for the area, although they have begun requiring compensation at their other plots around the country.

Weyerhaeuser has put a cap on how many people can get their hands on one of the permits. Only 1,000 will be available for people who want to continue hunting the land.

Permit holders will have access (including motorized access) seven days a week from Aug. 1 to July 31 and be allowed to roam the approximately 157,000 acres.

Entry starts 90 minutes before sunrise and ends 90 minutes after sunset. A permit will get you in with a legally married spouse, children, or grandchildren 18 and under.

Weyerhaeuser still reserves the right to close the tree farm in times of high fire danger.

The choice to fit hunters with a bill has become a hot button issue around the area. I’ve spoken with people around the community — ranging from retired school teachers to plumbers — and not a single person I’ve spoken to seems to be excited about the decision. In my eight months of being Outdoors editor, never has a subject been met with such venom around the area.

“I think it’s rotten they’re charging people to go to their land,” David Brandt said, a retired sergeant in corrections who has been hunting at Weyerhaeuser for the past 47 years. “I don’t think they should be charging such an outrageous fee for us to go up there and hunt. It’s the principle more than anything else.

“I’ll just hunt someplace else.”

Brandt along with his neighbor both won’t buy a permit, marking the end of 77 years at Weyerhaeuser between the two households.

They’ve made their decision. Now it’s time for other members of the local hunting community to make theirs.

What did you decide? Why? Email me at george.artsitas@theworldlink.com.

I’d like to know.

About the stamp program

Upland Gamebird Stamp Art Contest

The Habitat Conservation Stamp program allows Oregonians to purchase a collector stamp to support conservation of Oregon’s native species and habitats as identified in the Oregon Conservation (which can be found at www.dfw.state.or.us/conservationstrategy/read_th e_strategy.asp) and Nearshore (found at www.dfw.state.or.us/MR P/nearshore/index.asp) strategies. Revenue will be used for restoration of the native habitats that are home to the state’s fish and wildlife. Habitat

The 2015 ODFW Upland Gamebird Art Contest is underway. It also closes on Aug. 29, 2014. The featured species is the Hungarian/Gray partridge.

About the stamp program The sale of Upland Game Bird Validation stamps generates much of the revenue for upland game bird management activities. These funds also promote upland bird habitat enhancement and restoration, which provide benefits for many species of fish and wildlife.

ODFW pilots new tactic to evaluate fish stocking on Wallowa Lake ENTERPRISE — Each year the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife successfully stocks 7 million legal-sized trout in lakes, ponds and reservoirs all across Oregon.

However, finding an affordable way to evaluate the effectiveness of these stocking efforts has been challenging.

To address this challenge, the agency will try something new this year to help quantify the harvest, movement and growth of these stocked fish, said Josh McCormick, ODFW fish biometrician. The pilot program will undergo an initial test on Wallowa Lake this spring, and on Henry Hagg and Lake of the Woods this winter and spring 2015.

Previous evaluations of stocking programs have depended on creel surveys – interviewing anglers – SEE DIGEST | PAGE 7

NEWS AND NOTES ■ Anglers are catching shad on the mainstem Coquille River near the town of Coquille.

■ June can be an excellent month to fish for resident cutthroat trout in rivers like the Elk, Sixes, Chetco and Winchuck.

■ Salmonflies are currently emerging on the upper Rogue River creating an excellent opportunity for fly anglers targeting trout.

■ With the onset of warmer temperatures, warmwater fishing should be picking up in several local area waters.

FISHING Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout, warmwater fish There are still trout available for kids in the Millicoma Pond at the Millicoma Interpretive Center and fishing is excellent. Millicoma Pond is set aside for kids fishing only and is a great chance for them to hook into fish. Please call before traveling to Millicoma Pond to make sure the gates are open. The phone number is 541-267-2557.

Powers Pond will be stocked this week with both legal and trophy size rainbow trout. Empire Lakes and Tenmile Lakes were stocked last week with both legal and trophy size rainbow trout. Most of the area lakes have been stocked at least once this spring with hatchery rainbow trout. Anglers have been catching trout by trolling spinners from small boats in the deeper water. Fly anglers have been catching trout casting and retrieving small streamer or nymph patterns.

Largemouth bass should be active and cruising the shallow waters along the shoreline looking for an easy meal. Bluegills are preparing to spawn in many of the area lakes and can be found near the weedlines or submerged logs. Small jigs or a worm fished under a bobber are good

DIGEST Continued from Page 6 efforts that have been limited due to time and expense.

As a result, McCormick said, “We know anglers are catching a lot of fish, but we don’t always know if we are at optimum stocking levels or using the best fish stocks to maximize harvest.”

So beginning on Wallowa Lake this spring, the agency will tag and release a known number of fish into the lake and ask anglers who catch a tagged fish to return them to or notify ODFW with the tag information.

“If every angler who catches a tagged fish returns it, we’ll know the proportion of the total population of fish that were caught,” McCormick said. “However, we can’t assume that every tagged fish that anglers catch will be returned.”

So to further fine tune the sample, a prescribed number of fish will have a reward tag that will earn the lucky angler who catches a tagged fish a $50 reward.

According to Jeff Yanke, ODFW fish biologist in Enterprise, biologists will release 2,050 tagged fish into the lake, including 100 $50 reward tags.

“We hope this program will help us determine if we

Sturgeon fishing is open in the Coquille Basin for catch-and-release only on any size sturgeon.

Loon Lake: rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake was stocked with about 7,500 trout so far this spring. The lake can also provide good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass. The Loon Lake Resort boat ramp and the BLM ramp and campground also are open.

Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass, trout Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. There are lots of smaller yellow perch that anglers have to sort through to catch enough keepers for a meal. Some of the keeper yellow perch are over 12 inches long.

Anglers have been catching lots of 3 to 5 pound largemouth bass in Tenmile Lakes the past couple of weeks.

Most of the bass have been caught in shallow water along the shorelines usually associated with cover like submerged logs or vegetation. Crankbaits and plastics like senkos or brushhogs have been working to catch bass.

Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes continues to be good this past week with anglers picking up several trout in the 19-inch range. Trout anglers are having the best success trolling wedding rings or other types of spinners tipped with a night crawler. A few anglers are picking up the larger trout while fishing bait or lures for other fish species. One hundred hatchery rainbow trout were tagged next to the dorsal fin with a 2 inch blue numbered tag.

These fish were tagged as part of a tagged fish contest sponsored by Ringo’s Lakeside Marina. If you catch a tagged trout stop by or contact the marina at 541-7593312.

ways to catch bluegills.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, rockfish, sturgeon Trout season is open in the Coos Basin rivers. Water temperatures are getting too warm in the large rivers so anglers should fish the smaller streams which should have cooler water temperatures. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Sturgeon fishing is open in the Coos Basin for catch and release only on any size sturgeon.

Crabbing in Coos Bay continues to be fairly slow but some crabbers have been able to harvest some legal size crab.

In a cooperative effort including ODFW and OSU researchers, hundreds of red rock crabs have been tagged with a small blue “floy tag” in Charleston to gain an understanding of their growth, age, movement, population size, and fishery. Red rock crabs are native to Oregon and are found in only a few Oregon estuaries. If you catch a tagged red rock crab please contact the ODFW Charleston office at 541-888-5515.

There are also good places to dig clams even on positive low tides in Coos Bay. For more information on shellfish in Coos Bay click on the following link: Shellfish Assessment of Coastal Oregon. Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates.

Coquille River Basin: trout, sturgeon Trout season is open in the Coquille Basin rivers.

Anglers are having good success fishing the large to medium-size streams for cutthroat trout. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout.

Waterfowl Flooding in the Coquille Valley is subsiding. Areas where water inundation is still prevalent are attractive to waterfowl and provide good places to see large numbers of birds. Presently, large concentrations of Northern pintails, American green-winged teal and American coots are present in the area known as Winter Lake, near Coquille. The observant eye can also pick out cinnamon teal, blue-winged teal and other birds. Opportunity to see these birds in large quantities will continue until Winter Lake dries up completely.

Black Brant Black brant flocks are beginning to be seen in good numbers around Coos Bay. These migratory, salt water oriented geese are on their northward migration to the North Slope of Alaska and other nesting areas above the Arctic Circle. Good places to view them can be found along Cape Arago Highway.

If you go to see these birds, take your time and look for birds with neck collars. If you find a collared bird note the color of the collar and the numbers or letters on the collar. Then, when convenient, call your local ODFW office and provide the wildlife biologist that information. The biologist will also want to know specifically where and when you saw the bird so he or she can try to confirm the report.
