Mr. MHS Pageant help fight child hunger COOS BAY — Mr. MHS contestants will take the stage at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 12, in the Marshfield High School auditorium to entertain and announce the results of the fundraising competition. All of the proceeds go to benefit disadvantaged students served by Oregon Coast Community Action’s Share Bear Snack Pack program. This year, the Mr. MHS teens hope to raise more than $10,000 to help combat child hunger in our community. The Mr. MHS pageant will showcase the talents of the contestants and culminate in the crowning of Mr. MHS 2014. Competitors include Chris Armstrong, Brogan Bracelin, Alex Brown, Ty Bunnell, Juan Caballero, Taylor Dornbusch, Bill Fields and Quentin Kirk. Each competitor received support from a senior girl including Elissa Kilmer, Lindsay Brown, Elyse Trendell, Lindsay Devereux, Ashley Barbain, Braeden Kennedy, Tracee Scott and Heather Whitty. Tickets cost $5 and are on sale at the Marshfield High School main office and also will be available at the door. “Small groups can make a big impact,” said Mr. MHS contestant Caballero. “Every cent that we get makes a difference in someone’s life.” Share Bear Snack Pack Program operates in Coos, Curry and western Douglas counties and combats child hunger by providing supplemental nutrition to over 750 children when the free and reduced lunch program is not available. Snack Packs lessen the stress of obtaining food resources on weekends, a time when families often find it difficult to access emergency food resources due to limited pantry and meal site access. A majority of the Snack Packs are distributed biweekly to schools using South Coast Food Share transportation resources. In addition to food assistance for the children, each Snack Pack offers educational materials to inform families of the resources available in their communities including how to sign up for food stamps, energy saving tips, and details on how to access additional emergency food resources. Greg McKenzie, ORCCA Development Associate, said, “attending this event will be an entertaining and fun opportunity to support one of ORCCA’s most popular local, community-based programs.” Oregon Coast Community Action is a nonprofit network of programs that help feed, house, warm and educate the communities of the South Coast.

In this workshop, you can join in the work and singing, or just listen and watch. Participants in music workshops are encouraged to bring instruments and welcome to bring a recording device. Culture workshops include “Introduction to Irish,” where Mary Grace Brogdon urges the festival goer to learn a little of the tongue our great grandmothers spoke and information on how to learn more.

I can’t turning one of his new inter- watching videos online, a think of anything I’d rather ests into a local marketplace. He’s trying to pique the greater Bay Area’s interest by starting the Coos Kayak Fishing group on Facebook. He started it about four months ago and it hovers around 100 members so far. He started the group in hopes of getting others interested in the sport and ideally wanted it to be a place for people to share tips and tricks for fishing locally. Networking with other kayak fishermen in the area has turned out to be an added perk. “I know at least a dozen Hyde, in his kayak showing off his catch, has started a Facebook group guys who do it around here,” to bring together kayak anglers from around the coast.
be doing,” Hyde said. Hyde admits that he can’t really complain about the money he’ll save not fueling a power boat, but the element of fear is what keeps him coming back. Hyde never knows what to expect being out in nature and feeds off being on the edge. And he’s not just scared of getting a stretch of bad weather. Last fall, Hyde ran into a 13-foot great white shark, but even with a brief brush with death didn’t get him out of the kayak. How could it? By that time, Hyde’s hobby turned into a little bit more than just a way to kill time and catch dinner. Last summer at a competition in Sunset Bay, he caught a lingcod that weighed more than 20 pounds and landed the Sunset Bay Angler of the Day Kayak Fishing Challenge. The success from that win has allowed for Hyde to get sponsored recently by a lure company based out of Washington state called Lancer Jigs that supplies him with lures to use in kayak fishing tournaments. With the Facebook group and the sponsorship, it’s not

hard for Hyde to realize why he likes fishing in the first place. “I find it relaxing and it’s nice to have a hobby that puts food on the table,” Hyde said. Hyde has made only one organic connection from the group so far, but as of now, Hyde’s been waiting for the weather to improve to get other members out. Coos Kayak Fishing is primarily a Facebook group at the moment, but moving forward, Hyde would love to have “it adapt into a more public entity.” Right now he tries to post videos and pic-
tures regularly to keep interest up, but he’s thinking about setting up fishing trips with members in the future. Regardless of how the group grows or doesn’t in the summer months, Hyde isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. “Kayak fishing is my passion. It’s what I live for. Fishing with friends makes it all better,” Hyde said. “If I can introduce someone to this sport and make a friend at the same time, I’m happy.” If you’re interest in kayak fishing, become a member of the group. Just search Coos Kayak Fishing on Facebook. After that, check out the online group northwestkayakanglers.com. Hyde promises all serious fisherme n are on there.

GO! Outdoors Fun fishing at Empire Lakes Left, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife volunteer Casey Cyris helps Destiny Grisson reel in her catch at Family Fun Day at Topits Park on April 5. The line of people waiting to fish curled around the park. Participants also rode canoes as well. ODFW stocked the lake with 6,000 rainbow trout. The event featured a clinic for families to learn about fishing. After the clinic, kids 13 and under fished for free and teenagers 14-17 did too if they had a juvenile fishing license.

RECREATION R E P O R T
NEWS AND NOTES ■ Anglers reported good catches of bright hatchery and wild fish throughout the upper Rogue River last week, including multiple limits. ■ Anglers have been catching good numbers of hatchery steelhead on the South Umpqua. ■ This week’s rain should kick start the spring Chinook run on the lower Rogue River. ■ Fishing for largemouth bass is starting to pick up in Tenmile Lakes. ■ Lost Creek Reservoir is a late winter/spring hot spot for trout anglers.
FISHING Tenmile Basin: steelhead, largemouth bass, trout Steelhead fishing is open in the Tenmile Basin until April 30. The majority of the steelhead around are either dark or have already spawned. There is bank fishing access at Spinreel Park, at the mouth of Eel Creek and also along Eel Creek. In the Tenmile Basin, from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may keep one additional adipose fin-clipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily. Fishing for largemouth bass is starting to pick up in
Tenmile Lakes. Look for actively feeding fish along the shoreline in the warmer shallow water. Anglers will have the best success with slower moving lures. Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes should start to pick up as the water temperatures rise. Most trout anglers in Tenmile troll wedding rings or other types of spinners usually tipped with a night crawler. Umpqua River: winter steelhead The South Umpqua is open for winter steelhead fishing. The number of steelhead has increased in the South and should be peaking. Most hatchery steelhead return to the South Umpqua, so anglers interested in harvesting a hatchery fish will be most successful in the South. The rain has improved conditions on the South. Both bank and boat anglers have been doing well and a good number of hatchery fish have been caught recently. Winchester Bay: winter steelhead Steelhead will be migrating up the Umpqua for the next several months as they transition from winter steelhead to summer steelhead. Most steelhead fishing in the lower main is catch and release. Fishing the Triangle and South Jetty has been good for rockfish. Loon Lake: rainbow trout, bass, bluegill The lake can also provide good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass. Fishing is slow and both the BLM and resort’s boat ramps are closed. Loon Lake was stocked last week with about 2,000 trout and will be stocked with more than 3,500 trout in the next couple weeks. A few may be just shy of legal size for harvest. Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout
Bradley Lake, Johnson Mill Pond, Powers Pond, Saunders Lake and Empire Lakes are scheduled to be stocked with legal size rainbows sometime this week. Butterfield Lake also is scheduled to be stocked this week but with 400 one-pound larger trout. Anglers have been catching trout by fishing PowerBait near the bottom or by casting spoons/spinners. Fly anglers have been catching trout casting and retrieving small streamer or nymph patterns. Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, steelhead, rockfish Steelhead fishing is open in the Coos Basin until April 30. There are still steelhead available to harvest but the majority of the fish will be dark and ready to spawn or post spawn fish. In the Coos Basin, from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may keep one additional adipose finclipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily. Anglers wanting to fish the South Fork Coos River should be aware that Weyerhaeuser typically does not allow angling access after the end of March. Anglers are still catching rockfish and lingcod inside Coos Bay around the jetties, submerged rockpiles and near the railroad trestle near the U.S. Highway 101 bridge. Fishing is usually best around slack tides. Crabbing in Coos Bay continues to be fairly slow. Some crabbers have harvested some legal size crab. In a cooperative effort including ODFW and OSU SEE REC | PAGE 8

REC Continued from Page 7 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. C l a m m i n g is excellent during low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway and Clam Island. There are also good places to dig clams even on positive low tides in Coos Bay. Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates. Coquille River Basin: steelhead Steelhead fishing is open in the Coquille Basin from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may keep one additional adipose fin-clipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily.
HUNTING Spring Black Bear season opened April 1 and continues through May 31. Generally bears are very inactive and difficult to find in the early part of this season. So far, very few reports of bear sightings have come to the ODFW office in Coos County, which is to be expected. However, some bears are active now due to the relatively mild weather conditions this spring. Hunters who have an urge to start hunting may find bears if they are methodical in their search. Most active bears will be found on southern exposures where grass is greening up
in clear cuts and natural forest openings. Bear activity will increase as spring progresses. Hunters are reminded to check in bears they harvest with in ten days of harvest. It is important that hunters call the ODFW office where they intend to check harvested bears in to so a biologist can be available. Cougar hunting is open. Hunters can expect an average year. Cougars are abundant throughout with indicators pointing to stable or increasing numbers. Hunting cougar is a challenge because these animals are very secretive. Harvest success is greatest adjacent to private land with high deer populations using a predator call. Coyote populations are good in Coos County and they will often respond to calls. Calling coyotes in the coast range is challenging due to brush. Hunters interested in hunting coyotes may find success in asking for permission to hunt private land where landowners are losing sheep. REMINDER: Wolves and coyotes can look alike Most wolves in the state today are in northeast Oregon but a few have dispersed further west and south. Wolves are protected by state and/or federal law and it is unlawful to shoot them. Coyote hunters need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the mid-summer and fall. ODFW appreciates hunters’ assistance to establish wolves’ presence in Oregon; please report any wolf sightings or wolf sign to ODFW using the online reporting system.
YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Neo-Tropical Migrants Neo-tropical migrants including common yellow throats are beginning to appear near local wetlands. Many of them are feeding on insects during insect hatch-
es. On days when conditions are good for hatches, birds capitalizing on this food source may be found in profusion and the level of their activity is entertaining to watch. Good places to watch this interaction are wetlands next to East Bay Drive, which follows the east side of Coos Bay, wetlands along North Bank Road, which follows the Coquille River from state Highway 42 to U.S. Highway 101 and Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge. 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 exists. 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 at 800-452-7888. Waterfowl Rain has caused flooding to occur in inland valleys like the Coquille Valley. The result of this is that many waterfowl have left the coastal bays and moved into these valleys. Waterfowl numbers will continue to be high as long as agricultural lands in these areas are flooded. A birding tour on North Bank Lane and state Highway 42 will provide many opportunities to view waterfowl as they feed in these agricultural fields. Sea ducks are scoters, eiders, Harlequin ducks and other ducks that spend most of their lives in the ocean or estuaries or near these environments. Surf scoters are the most common sea duck in Coos County.
