Folk-rock duo ‘You Knew Me When’ returns COOS BAY — Uprooting their lives, departing from their Nashville home and fulltime jobs, the husband and wife duo, Cie and Karisa Hoover — “You Knew Me When” set upon a plan to tour the nation for a full year, they haven’t stopped since June 2012.

Since that time they have been serving up their indie folk rock compositions

coast-to-coast and into Canada. They released their first studio album “You, Me, and the Rest of the World,” as a fully independent entity. Join them for a sample of their new album at 6 p.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 2, at 7 Devils Brewing Co. “You, Me, and the Rest of the World” is an album that parades between a fusion of progressive indie-rock and folk com-

positions all infused with a myriad of stirring beats.

While blending their vocals, Karisa, who previously served as a Nashville public school music teacher, provides the piano, ukulele, and glockenspiel, as Cie, who spent several years as the Global Events Manager for Gibson Guitar, supplies the guitar and rhythmic nuances.

Guild selects their featured quilter for show COOS BAY — The Coos Sand ‘n Sea Quilters Guild members have selected Billie Shannon of Reedsport as the 2014 featured quilter of the “Sea of Quilts XX” show. A long time member of the guild, Shannon recently retired from her position as mathematics instructor at Southwestern Oregon Community College.

Liars wanted for a coming Dolphin Playhouse production COOS BAY — Auditions for “The School for Lies,” the Aug. 18, and Tuesday, Aug. 19, at 7 p.m. at the Dolphin Dolphin Players’ fall production, will be held on Monday, Playhouse, 580 Newmark Ave., in Coos Bay. The School for Lies, by David Ives, is a modern adaptation of Moliere’s The Misanthrope. It’s 1666 and in the glittering salons of Paris, a surly misanthrope, who always says exactly what he thinks, falls in love with the very fashionable Celimene, who leads her friends in gossip and spreading scandal.

Free Ice The School for Lies is reminiscent of the inaugural production at the Dolphin Playhouse, The Liar, also by David Ives and an adaptation of a French farce.

The production is slated for mid-October through the first weekend of November. Needed are three or four women and five or six men, as well as production staff members. For more information, call Alice Carlson at the Charleston Marina Dolphin Playhouse, 541-808-2611 or visit the Dolphins’ website, thedolphinplayers.webs.com.

Session I will take place on Thursdays, Sept. 18, 25, and Oct. 2, 9 and 16.

Session II: “Wonderful World of Watercolor,” will feature the wet-into-wet painting technique along with tips for brushwork, layering, edges, and color mixing.

Session II on Oct. 23, 30, and Nov. 6, 13, and 20.

Cost for each session is $85 for CAM members or $95 for non-members or, for those interested, a special double-session discount will apply: $150 for CAM members or $170 for non-members.

Sessions are suitable for adults with some watercolor experience to advanced level.

“I raised both my kids on mushrooms.”

Of course there’s a reason the culture isn’t very accessible.

Good money if you know what you’re doing.

Continued from Page 6 weeks years ago, but $200 a week as a cashier wasn’t as good as mushroom picking for $200 a day. So he followed the money.

But that kind of income brings the wrong type of people.

“There’s a hundred million people and their brother” who mushroom pick around the community with how easy the cash transaction is at the end of the day. The prospect of cash attracts people — most infamously druggies — who don’t know the fundamentals. They can’t tell when a mushrooms is fully matured, or they don’t care because more mushrooms means more weight which means more money.

At the mushroom buyer’s shack I went to, one man I asked went out for four hours and came back with $26.60.

“They’re ruining the industry,” Tindle said.

“The misconception of all these people is that they’re going to make money, but what they really need to do is try to find themselves a regular job like at McDonald's or Walmart or a gas station. Stay the (expletive) out of the woods.”

On the South Coast, we have pine, hedgehog, Matsutake, chanterelle, lobsters, yellow feet, cauliflower, pigs ears and black trumpets mushrooms.

Tindle says 5 million pounds of chanterelle mushroom is shipped annually from the Pacific Northwest.

He also says to check out the Smith River if you’d ever want to go, but wouldn’t recommend anyone get there hopes up.

MUSHROOMS

GO! Outdoors as a novice picker, I think mushroom picking is for the hardcore woodsman.

It’s hard work, takes going off the beaten path a lot and you really need to know “the prime spots.”

I, personally, was disappointed to find out how the sausage is made. A picked lobster mushroom has to be cut at the stem until you completely remove the worm that was

living in it.

It wasn’t all bad. I learned the “If you don’t know what it is, don’t bother” rule when picking mushrooms. I know to put ferns around my bucket to save my mushrooms from additional damage. Also, evading holes in the ground is vital because they’re wasps nests.

My biggest criticism is the fact that you have to

stare down to find mushrooms while you’re in a beautiful forest sours me a bit.

But that’s just me.

“I’m just really comfortable out there,” Tindle said. “There is no better connection to peace of mind and tranquility.

“If I hit the lottery or something, I’d still pick mushrooms.”

Tindle spies a lobster mushroom, harvesting it from the dirt.

FISHING Weekend fishing opportunities ■ The first fall Chinook of the season are showing up in Winchester Bay, and anglers have started picking up fall

■ Chinook and coho fishing has been good in the ocean Above, a group of chanterelle mushrooms appear seasonally in the temperate rain forests of the Oregon just outside of Coos Bay. Coast.

Below, the picker reaches down for a chanterelle with a bucket in his hand. He says to line your bucket with ferns to keep the mushroom safer.

Warm temperatures stress on fish With summer temperatures heating up throughout the state, anglers should take special care when catching and releasing fish.

■ Fish early mornings when temperatures are lower.

■ Fish in lakes and reservoirs with deep waters that provide a cooler refuge for fish.

■ Use barbless hooks, land fish quickly and keep them in the water as much as possible in order to minimize stress. Anglers who keep the fish in the water when looking for finmarks or taking photos are leaders in stewardship of the resource.

■ Shift your fishing efforts to higher elevation mountain lakes and streams, temperatures often remain cool.

■ Target warmwater species, such as bass, bluegill and crappie, that are available in many lakes and reservoirs statewide. However, even warmwater fish can feel the effects of the heat.

Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout, warmwater fish 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 SEE REC | PAGE 8

Saturday, Aug.16, 2014 • Go! • 8

REC Continued from Page 7 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, salmon Trout season is open. 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.

Salmon fishing was a little slow over the weekend for anglers trolling cut plug herring on the Coos Bay bar with a couple Chinook salmon caught. Remember only Chinook and fin clipped coho can be kept right now inside Coos Bay. Crabbing in Coos Bay has been good with boat crabbers picking up limits. The best crabbing has been near the jetties but crabbers are getting legal size crab all the way up to the BLM Boat Ramp.

ODFW and OSU researchers, have tagged hundreds of red rock crabs 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 found in only a few Oregon estuaries. Report tagged red rock crab to the ODFW Charleston office at 541-888-5515.

Clamming 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: trout, smallmouth bass, crabbing Trout season is open. 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. 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.

A few salmon have been caught in the lower Coquille River by anglers trolling cut plug herring. This is the start of the salmon run and fishing will improve.

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 been good in the lower Coquille estuary.

Dock crabbers are picking up a few legal-sized Dungeness crab at Weber’s Pier in Bandon.

Loon Lake: 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 worms. The best fishing will be in over 10 feet of water and along weedlines.

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 has slowed down but anglers can still catch trout in the deeper 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 call the marina at 541-7593312.

Umpqua River, south: trout, smallmouth bass Water levels are low, so boaters will want to check the flows or consider using rubber crafts.

Winchester Bay: steelhead, Chinook, surfperch Fishing the Triangle and South Jetty has been good for rockfish. Ocean fishing out of Winchester Bay has improved as tuna and more salmon have moved inshore.

The ocean is now open for Chinook and fin-clipped coho. Some Chinook have already entered Winchester Bay and fishing will continue to improve in the bay area. This will provide some bank fishing opportunity from Halfmoon Bay through Osprey Point. Crabbing is also improving in Winchester Bay.
