The six woman “cowgirl band” recreates the yodels, sweet harmonies and spirited lyrics of classic western bands like Sons of the Pioneers. Their repertory also includes recent and original songs by band members.

The vocal component of the band includes Esther Stutzman, a traditional storyteller and descendant of the Coos and Kalapuya tribes; artist Susan

The ‘purple sailor’ runs aground on beaches Back after being scarce for nearly a decade, they’re showing up again this summer on Oregon’s beaches.

Oregon Coast beach walkers have found them piled at the high-tide line up and down our shoreline: sailors blown to shore and tossed up onto the beach by the surf. Great windrows of fetid, drying, fading, papery bodies, some still tinged with dark purple.

Purple sailors, Velella velella, are small open-sea (pelagic) sea jelly. Great numbers of these have run aground these last couple of weeks. Most of us have seen them washed ashore: oval, up to 4 inches by 3 inches, with a broadly triangular sail that extends perhaps 2 inches above the flat oval “deck.”

The “purple” refers to the thick pulpy line of blue-purple along the bottom, outside edge of the deck. The concentricallyringed deck has small, gasfilled compartments that keep the sailor afloat.

Most of the squishy stuff on the bottom is a

Velella on the western Pacific, near Japan, sport sails set at the opposite angle, like a forward slash /, which help them tack away from that shore. It is presumed — though not yet proven — that the two varieties mix in the center of the oceans and the wind sorts them out, with the angle of the sail tacking it away from the shoreline under moderate winds.

And why do they wash up this time of year? The tacking apparently fails during some storms or when the wind shifts direction from the winter direction (to the north) to the summer direction (to the south).

The shore-cast Velella bodies will decompose to fertilize and feed the small organisms of the beach, their malodorous demise adding to the season’s productivity. The soft parts go first, of course, and the clear, stiff deck and sail will be the last to go.

NEWS AND NOTES ■ July is when cutthroat trout start to move into the estuaries and lower sections of many area rivers.

■ Warmwater fishing should be picking up in several local area waters.

■ Largemouth bass fishing has been good on Tenmile and other lakes.

Summer can be a great time to target largemouth with topwater lures.

FISHING Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout, warmwater fish With warmer water temperatures in the area lakes, trout fishing will be best in the early mornings. Trout will most likely be near the deeper water. Area lakes will not be stocked again until early fall.

Fishing for largemouth bass and bluegills will be best during the mornings and late evenings. Look to find bass and bluegills near cover like weedlines or submerged logs. Summer time is a good time to catch largemouth bass on topwater lures. Small jigs or a worm fished under a bobber are good 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 for catchand-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 541-8885515.

Clamming is excellent during low tides n e a r Charleston, off Cape A r a g o Highway, and Clam Island.

There are also good places to dig clams even on positive low tides in Coos Bay. Coquille River B a s i n : trout, smallmouth bass, crabbing Trout season is open in the Coquille Basin rivers. Anglers are having good success fishing the large to mediumsize streams for cutthroat trout.

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 until Sept. 1.

The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Anglers are catching a few smallmouth bass in the mainstem and

South Fork Coquille rivers. Small spinners or jigs have been working well to catch smallmouth bass. There is no size limit or bag limit on the number of smallmouth bass you can keep in the Coquille River Basin.

Crabbing has picked up in the lower Coquille estuary. Dock crabbers are picking up a few legal-sized Dungeness crab at Weber’s Pier along the waterfront in Bandon.

Sturgeon fishing is open catch-andrelease only on any size sturgeon.

L o o n L a k e : rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake was stocked with about 7,500 trout this spring. The lake can also provide good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass as the water warms up.

Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass, trout Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. The best fishing will be in over 10 feet of water and along weedlines. Sometimes anglers need to try several spots before finding the bigger fish.

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 more than 12 inches long.

Largemouth bass fishing has been good. Most of the bass are being caught in deep water associated with cover like submerged logs or vegetation. Crankbaits and plastics like senkos or brushhogs have been working to catch bass. Early mornings and late evenings are a good time to throw topwater lures for bass.

Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes continues to be good but anglers should concentrate their effort in deep water.

Fishing is typically best in the early mornings and evenings. Trout anglers are having the best success trolling wedding rings or other types of spinners tipped with bait. 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 541-759-3312.

Umpqua River, south: trout, smallmouth bass Winchester Bay: steelhead, chinook, surfperch Fishing the Triangle and South Jetty has been good for rockfish. Surfperch are still running. Popular perch fishing areas include the North Beach across from the East Boat Basin and marker 12 above the

East Boat Basin. Ocean fishing out of Winchester Bay has improved as more salmon have moved inshore. The ocean is now open for chinook and fin-clipped coho. Some chinook will start entering Winchester Bay in July. This will provide some bank fishing opportunity from Halfmoon Bay through Osprey Point.

Crabbing is also improving in Winchester Bay.

HUNTING Cougar hunting is open.

YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Sea bird numbers are high along the Oregon coast this time of year. Many of these birds are here to nest and brood young, others are here to feed on fish and other forage that moves close to shore in the summer months. Examples of birds that are here for nesting are common murres and cormorants (three species).

The best place to see the birds that are here for nesting would be near rocky headlands and off-shore islands.

Coquille Point in Bandon is a great place to find both of these habitats. The number of common murres, pigeon guillemots, cormorants and other nesting sea birds is impressive there.

Birds that are here for foraging include California brown pelicans, cormorants (the same three species) and Western greebes, as well as others. Great places to watch these birds and their activities are Coos Bay, near Charleston and the Coquille Bay near the harbor in Bandon.

Feeding birds can be seen diving on bait fish in the bay and sometimes working in unison to corral fish near shore.

Occasionally other animals get in on the action when foraging birds have located bait fish. Seals, sealions, porpoise and even whales will go after these fish as birds are mounting attacks from above.

Marine Mammals Seal and sea lion abundance in coastal waters around Coos County is high at this time of year, especially south of Coos Bay, at Simpson Reef, a heavily used haul out. From the look out, viewers can see California sea lions, Steller sea lions, harbor seals and elephant seals.

Do not approach seals and sea lions you may find on Oregon beaches. If you think an animal you find is, in fact, in trouble, contact your local ODFW office to report the animal or contact the Marine Mammal Stranding Network an 800-452-7888.

OUTDOORS D I G E S T Health advisory for water contact at Harris Beach State Park and Mill Beach Public health advisories were issued June 26 due to higher-than-normal levels of bacteria in ocean waters at Harris Beach State Park and Mill Beach, both located in Curry County.

Water samples indicate higher-than-normal levels of fecal bacteria, which can result in diarrhea, stomach cramps, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections and other illnesses. Direct contact with the surf or water running into the surf in this area should be avoided until the advisory is lifted, especially for children and the elderly, who may be more vulnerable to waterborne bacteria.

Increased pathogen and fecal bacteria levels in ocean waters can come from both shore and inland sources, such as storm water runoff, sewer overflows, failing septic systems, and animal waste from livestock, pets and wildlife.

While this advisory is in effect at Harris Beach State Park Beach and Mill Beach, visitors should avoid wading in nearby creeks, pools of water on the beach, or in discolored water, and stay clear of water runoff flowing into the

ocean. Even if there is no advisory in effect, officials recommend avoiding swimming in the ocean within 48 hours after a rainstorm.

The status of water contact advisories at beaches is subject to change. For the most recent information on advisories, visit the Oregon Beach Monitoring Program website or call 971-673-0400, or 877-290-6767 tollfree.

Although state officials advise against water contact, they continue to encourage other recreational activities (flying kites, picnicking, playing on the beach, walking, etc.) on these beaches because they pose no health risk even during an advisory. Neighboring beaches are not affected by this advisory.

Central coast all-depth halibut fishing closes, nearshore opens NEWPORT — Excellent weather and hungry halibut combined last weekend to approach the quota for the spring all-depth Pacific halibut fishery. Fishery managers have closed the fishery until Aug. 1, when the summer all-depth fishery opens.

“Last weekend the halibut fishing was excellent,” said Lynn Mattes, ODFW’s project leader for halibut. “The weather allowed a lot of folks the opportunity to fish and

many of them were successful.”

With the closure, halibut anglers will turn their attention to the popular central coast nearshore fishery that opened July 1, seven days a week inside the 40-fathom regulatory line. This fishery will remain open until the 22,274-pound quota is reached or until Oct. 31, whichever comes first.

The spring all-depth Pacific halibut fishery for the central coast subarea (from Cape Falcon south to Humbug Mountain) was open 12 days over four different periods, resulting in the harvest of approximately 113,000 pounds of Pacific halibut.

The summer all-depth fishery will open Aug. 1 with a quota of approximately 46,000 pounds. The summer season for the central coast all-depth fishery is scheduled to be open every other Friday and Saturday until the all-depth quota is taken or Oct. 31, whichever comes first.

Fishing for halibut on the north coast (from Leadbetter Point, Wash., to Cape Falcon) is open at all depths Thursday through Sunday and inside the 40fathom line on days the all-depth fishery is not open until quotas are taken.

On the south coast (south of Humbug Mountain) the halibut fishery is open through Oct. 31 or until the quota is taken.
