fall, spring or winter, and more by what I can access at that time of year. So yes, tuna season is by far my favorite time of year. I love going down to the docks and purchasing freshcaught tuna, watching it get filleted and then grilling it up in the backyard. Don’t miss your last chance to enjoy tuna season.

The reopening of the Egyptian Theatre has added a new item to my todo list. This month they will be showing “Close Encounters of the Third

K ind” and “Grease,” movies I’d love to see on the big screen.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t suggest a trip to our beaches. We’re so fortunate to have so many beautiful beaches. Unlike other coastlines, ours is not covered with manmade structures but kept natural. Hands down, this is my four-legged kids’ favorite thing to do and an excursion to Horsfall Beach is long overdue.

Lastly we all know that fall here is festival season … there’s an endless array

of choices. From the Blackberry Arts Festival, the Bay Area Fun Festival and celebrating Steve Prefontaine’s legacy and Music on the Bay. South Slough Estuary is celebrating its 40th anniversary and the activities they have planned for this fall are worth checking out, everything from learning to crab to hikes to children’s classes. For more information or inspiration on any of these events going on you can visit www.oregonsadventurecoast.com/events.

Whatever your interests, the South Coast has something to offer you in the coming months. So get out and enjoy as much as you can. Try something new and make sure to invite all your friends and family to visit and enjoy it too!

Swift wings seem stiffer, narrower, and more swept-back than swallow wings (they remind me of nearly-straightened out boomerangs); swifts have tails so short they barely extend past the body while swallows usually have more noticeable tails — and swift tail feathers end in stiff quill-points. Swallows perch on wires and such, swifts cling to vertical wood and walls.

Bat flight is different from swift flight, too: Bat flight tends to be more erratic in rhythm and direction. And bats usually fly about on the darker side of dusk and dawn than swifts and swallows fly.

Why the apparent recent uptick in observations in Coos County?

Probably, the newly fledged youngsters have increased the number of Vaux’s swifts flying about. Possibly, the birds, old and young, are starting to gather for their southward migration. By the time you’re ready to build a cozy fire, they may already be wintering in Central America.

RECREATION R E P O R T

Weekend fishing opportunities ■ On the lower Rogue, half-pounders have really started to move this week and anglers fishing with flies and spinners are reporting excellent success.

■ Coho fishing has been good in the ocean just outside of Coos Bay. ■ Summer trout anglers can have success fishing the deeper waters of Applegate and Lost Creek reservoirs, fishing Lost Creek upstream of the Highway 62 bridge, or fishing the river upstream of Lost Creek Reservoir.

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

■ Fish early in the mornings when water 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 where water 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 and anglers should try to land and release them as quickly as possible.

FISHING COOS COUNTY LAKES/PONDS: 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 topwater lures. Small jigs or a worm fished under a bobber are good ways to catch bluegills.

GO! Outdoors COOS RIVER BASIN: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, salmon Trout season is open in the Coos Basin rivers. 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 until Sept. 1. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Salmon anglers have been picking up a few Chinook salmon from the “chip pile” near the BLM Boat ramp up to Marshfield Channel. Anglers are having the best success trolling cut plug herring around slack tides.

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.

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.

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. 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, smallmouth bass, salmon, crabbing 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. 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 more Chinook salmon were caught over the weekend in the lower Coquille River by anglers trolling cut plug herring near Rocky Point Boat Ramp and near Bandon.

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 along the waterfront 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.

SIXES RIVER: cutthroat trout Cutthroat fishing has been good in the estuary when the weather has cooperated. Best access is at Cape Blanco State Park, but it can be very windy, so anglers should check the weather and try to fish early morning.

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 more than 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 over 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 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 contact the marina at 541759-3312.

U MPQ UA RIVER, SO UTH : trout, smallmouth bass Check the regulations for gear and harvest restrictions. Water levels are low, so boaters will want to check the flows or consider using rubber rafts. The South Umpqua will be closed for all fishing from Sept. 16 through Nov. 30.

WINCHESTER BAY: steelhead, Chinook, surfperch, tuna 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 SEE REC | PAGE 8

open for Chinook. 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.

HUNTING Cougar hunting is open. Hunting cougar is a challenge because these animals are very secretive, but harvest success is greatest adjacent to private land with high deer populations using a predator call.

Black Bear season opened Aug. 1. Bear populations are robust in much of Coos County and offer opportunities for hunting. Due to mild weather conditions this spring berry production is very good this summer. Bears will be taking advantage of that food source. Hunters should look for isolated berry stands where vehicle traffic from other people will not disturb bears from feeding on berries. Places like the ends on closed forest roads where berries are growing provide some of the best places to hunt bears that are feeding on them. Walking through these areas in the early morning or late evening or setting up tree stands near these areas are great ways to hunt bears on the Oregon coast.

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 report-

ing system.

YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Baby Birds Many species of song birds are beginning to fledge now, which means they are learning to fly and will soon be leaving the nest. When these birds are starting to fly they often fly out of the nest and are not able to fly back in. When you couple this fact with the strong north winds that are common this time of year young birds are commonly encountered on the ground or in vegetation apparently stranded. The fact is, this is a normal situation for them and the parent birds continue to feed them while they work out the details of fledging. If you find birds like this in your yard of on a nature hike the best thing to do is leave them alone so they do not become stressed by human attention. If the birds are in your yard, keep cats and dogs away.

Shore Birds Early migrating shore birds are already beginning to show up on local beaches and mud flats in the bays.

Numbers will increase as fall approaches and species composition of flocks will change. For the birder who wants to maximize the number of species seen in a season now is a good time to start checking areas where shore birds congregate to see the species involved with the early migration. Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is probably the best place in Coos County to see these birds. The Bandon Marsh Unit is located immediately north of Bandon and is probably the best part of the refuge to visit for shore bird observation. Otherwise mud flats in Coos Bay, Winchester Bay (Douglas County) and the Coquille Bay are great places to check.

Sea Birds 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 are near rocky headlands and offshore 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.

Birds that are here for foraging include California brown pelicans, cormorants and Western grebes. 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, sea lions, 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.
