New course in miracles class

Chinook Charters

Classes & Workshops

Charleston Oregon

email: chinookcharters@live.com

NORTH BEND — Unity By The Bay will offer a class based on the book “A Course in Miracles, a spiritual guide for life.”

The book begins: “This is A Course in Miracles, it is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary.”

Millions of copies have been sold around the world and inspired such best-selling authors as Marianne Williamson. The “course” is essential reading for spiritual seekers, religious followers or anyone searching for spiritual meaning in the world.

The key tenet throughout the book is forgiveness, and we are informed that forgiveness is the answer to all of life’s problems. “Let forgiveness be the substitute for fear. This is the only rule for happy dreams.” Love is everything; perfect love is the goal for all of us and we simply have to let it in; “the search for love is but the honest searching out of everything that interferes with love.” Love is the opposite of judgment and love really does conquer all.

Classes will be held 6:30-8 p.m. Mondays at 2100 Union Ave., in North Bend, beginning Sept. 15. Cost will be on a love-offering basis. All are welcome, whether or not you have previously read the book. Drop-ins are also welcome.

Wild coho season open in coastal basins SALEM — Wild coho seasons on many coastal rivers and bays opened Sept. 15 and, judging from the number of ocean coho being caught off the Oregon coast, fishery managers are anticipating a great season.

SEE DIGEST | PAGE 7

Continued from Page 6 “The forecasts for both coastal fall Chinook and coho were strong for 2014 and ocean fisheries so far have lived up to expectations,” said Chris Kern, ODFW manager for Columbia and Marine Programs. “Fishing for coho and Chinook in coastal rivers should be outstanding.”

Managers are predicting 175,000 wild coho will enter Oregon coastal basins and have set wild coho seasons in 13 of those basins: Nehalem, Tillamook, Nestucca, Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Siuslaw, Umpqua, Coos and Coquille rivers, Tenmile lakes and Beaver and Floras/New creeks.

Most seasons began on Sept. 15 and continue through November, but there are exceptions. Also, some basins are only open certain days of the week, and seasonal wild coho bag limits vary.

This year only three basins — Umpqua, Beaver Creek and Floras/New River — will have quotas, down from six in 2013. This continues the trend away from expensive and labor intensive creels and quotas to fixed season structures, according to Mike Gray, ODFW fish biologist in Charleston.

With the wild coho season scheduled to open next Monday, Chris Knutsen, ODFW biologist in Tillamook, says wild coho already are being caught and released in Tillamook, Nehalem and Nestucca bays.

“All indications are that the run on the North Coast will be stronger than in recent years,” he said.

Wild coho also have moved into southern Oregon basins like the Coos and Umpqua.

ed in donating to the project can go directly to https://experiment.com/projects/what-s-happenedto-the-millicoma-dace?s=discover. The project is expected to cost about $8,000, and Clements is trying to raise about a quarter of that through community funding.

Millicoma dace are tiny forage fish found only in the Coos and Millicoma rivers. According to Clements, it’s been almost 20 years since anyone has checked in on this Oregon native.

“There is a concern for its well-being, so we’re hoping to find a healthy population,” Clements said.

Millicoma dace currently are classified as a “strategy species” in the Oregon Conservation Strategy. Strategy species are defined as species with low and/or declining populations or otherwise at risk.

Charleston District Fish Biologist Mike Gray ranked the dace as the fish species of highest concern in his district.

“These fish have only been found in certain areas of the Coos basin. Even if they are healthy in numbers, it takes a dedicated effort to find them,” Gray said. “They may be doing reasonably well, but we just don’t know.”

With specialized expertise from Clements’ program, Gray may soon have his answer. Biologists are backpackelectrofishing three dozen sites on the Millicoma and Coos rivers and will document their findings.

Oregon has more than 75 native fish species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. These fish are part of a complex ecosystem of native fish, plants, insects and other critters vital to healthy runs of salmon, steelhead and trout. Without healthy populations of these and other little fish, the system collapses and there is risk of losing the fish Oregonians love to catch.

Clements’ team has had great success with several of these species. Most notably, his program was instrumental in getting the Oregon chub off of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) list. The Oregon chub was the first fish ever to be taken off the list since the ESA was enacted 40 years ago.

The team’s success to date has focused on threatened or endangered species which attract grant funding.

Clements hopes the public will step forward to help some of Oregon’s lesser-known, but equally important, fish species which receive little or no funding.

“The communities within the Coos basin have a resource that’s unique to their area, and it would be great to have local support to understand it,” Clements said.

ODFW Native Fish Program wants a big crowd for native fish conservation CHARLESTON — Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists with the Native Fish Investigations Program (NFIP) are trying something new in Oregon to support lesser known fish: Crowd-sourced funding.

“We know there’s a large community interested in understanding native fish,” says Shaun Clements, NFIP program leader. “Crowd-sourced funding is a way to get involved.”

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s PDF hunting maps of Travel Management Areas and Access and Habitat Program Access Areas can now be used with a GeoPDF mobile application that provides additional information for hunters.

The GeoPDF enables hunters to closely follow their location in the field, mark way points, deter-

mine if they are within boundaries or on public/private property, and more — all while offline on a mobile device.

Hunters or others wishing to use the free GeoPDF maps must first download an application on their mobile device. Search your mobile device’s app store for a GeoPDF application.

After downloading the application, hunters can access ODFW’s free GeoPDF maps at www.odfw.com/maps or via www.oregonhuntingmap.com.

Note that many of the areas shown on the maps with GeoPDF are currently closed due to fire danger.

RECREATION R E P O R T Weekend opportunities ■ Clamming has been excellent during low tides.

■ Chinook salmon fishing has been very good on Coos Bay all the way up to the forks of the Millicoma and South Coos rivers.

■ Some wild coho season opened Sept. 15.

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.

■ 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. 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 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.

However, even warmwater fish can feel the effects of the heat and anglers should try to land and release them as quickly as possible.

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.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, salmon Trout season is open in the Coos Basin rivers until Oct. 31. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 SEE REC | PAGE 8

REC Continued from Page 7 inches and anglers can now use bait in all streams and rivers in the Coos Basin.

Chinook salmon fishing has been very good on the incoming tide the past week for anglers trolling cut plug herring. There were lots of jacks caught over the past week but several 20-30 pound Chinook also. The wild coho season opened in the Coos Basin on Sept. 15 The daily bag limit for wild (unclipped) coho is one per day and two for the season.

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 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 until

Oct. 31. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches and anglers can now use bait in all streams and rivers in the Coquille Basin.

Chinook salmon fishing has been slow in the lower Coquille River from Rocky Point to Bear Creek for anglers trolling cut plug herring. The wild coho season opened in the Coquille Basin on Sept. 15. Fishing should pick up in the next couple of weeks.

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.

Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. Yellow perch will be moving towards the deep water (20 feet) and concentrating in big schools. 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. As the water temperatures cool the bass will move into shallower water will bite all day long.

Umpqua River, south: trout, smallmouth bass The South Umpqua is open for trout and smallmouth bass through Sept. 15. 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: Chinook Despite rumors, freshwater coho harvest is still open for only fin-clipped coho. The opportunity to harvest wild coho from the jetty to the Scottsburg Bridge begins Sept. 15, with a one per day, two in the aggregate limit.

The season has a 2,000 coho quota, so will be open until the quota is filled or through Nov. 30. Harvest information will be posted regularly on the ODFW website.

Winchester Bay has been good for chinook and coho fishing in the ocean. The fish have entered the river too and good numbers and chinook are being caught below the 101 bridge. Some chinook are also already moving upstream.

Bank anglers at Half Moon Bay and Osprey Point are beginning to have some success.

The 2014 Crab Bounty Hunt is now running in Winchester Bay until 2 p.m., Sept. 30. A valid shellfish license is required and tagged crab need to be taken to the Sportsman Cannery to be registered. Fishing for bottomfish in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful. Crabbing has been good recently.
