Pumpkin Patch hosts plein air paintout COOS BAY — Coos Art Museum invites artists to participate in a Plein Air Paintout on Saturday, Oct. 12.

This fun yet challenging event will take place at Mahaffy Ranch, a u-pick pumpkin patch located at 10362 state Highway 241, Coos Bay (15 miles from Coos Art Museum toward Allegany). The ranch lends itself extremely well to seasonal, farm-related plein air paintings. Nestled along the Millicoma River amid the mountains, this more than 95-acre ranch features a huge pumpkin patch, corn maze, farm animals, tractors and more.

Registration fee is $20. Deadline to register is Saturday, Oct. 5. For the full schedule, exhibit information and regis-

tration packet please visit http://www.coosart.org/plein-airpaintout-at-mahaffy-ranch/.

Coastal light featured at Pacific Park Gallery COOS BAY — Tranquility has settled into Pacific Park Gallery with the art of Pat Cink, Paula Reis and Pat Snyder. Each artist brings their spirit to their work through the use of different media, yet the emotional statement is drawn from the tranquility of Oregon’s iconic coastline and the harvest of its pure air, water and unique light.

An artists reception will be held 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Gallery, 1957 Thompson Road, Coos Bay. Music will be provided by Stacy Rose on dulcimer and flute.

Patricia J. Cink is featured in the Salon and Atrium spaces with more than 30 watercolor on Yupo and soft pastel paintings. The Bandon artist is a transplant from the Midwest where she developed her technical skills that have combined with her inner struggle for tranquility to explore coastal light playing with the rocky shores, dancing around still life paintings and inviting the viewer into area parks. The works represent the coast from Brookings to Florence.

Photographer Paula Reis comes to the southern Pacific Coast from the East Coast. In addition to extensive involvement in the Coos County arts, she enjoys flower gardening. To see how her garden grows, view her photographs in the mezzanine at Pacific Park Gallery.

Reis strives to communicate in digital images the spirit of Georgia O’Keefe.

Her work brings the viewer into the heart of intensely colored homegrown flowers.

Also in the mezzanine is the work of one of Oregon’s most recognized artists, Pat Snyder. Smaller works, that are a series of landscapes recording the same view in different pallets and light are featured. Snyder teaches hand-pulled printmaking at Coos Art Museum and some of his prints are also on exhibit.

For information about Pacific Park Gallery or to receive a Call to Artists, call or email 541-759-3038 artistjanuary@gmail.com Pacific Park Gallery is a not for profit, noncommission sales exhibit space.

RECREATION R E P O R T

Coos River Basin Trout fishing in streams remains open until Oct. 31. The daily limit for trout caught in streams is two and all streams and rivers in the basin are open to the use of bait.

Chinook fishing in Coos Bay has been the best this past week in the Marshfield Channe, in SOMAR areas and near the airport. There are also salmon higher upstream on the South Fork Coos River and Isthmus Slough. Anglers trolling cut plug herring behind a flasher are having the best success. A few anglers have caught big California halibut (up to 30 pounds) while trolling the deep water channel for salmon. The wild coho season started on Sept. 15 in the Coos Basin. There have not been any reports of wild coho caught in the Coos Basin over the past weekend. Anglers are allowed one wild coho per day and two for the season.

Crabbing in Coos Bay has been slow. Best places to crab are from the jetties up to the BLM boat ramp off the North Spit.

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 541888-5515.

Clamming is excellent during low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway and Clam Island. For more information on shellfish in Coos Bay log onto 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 season for streams in the Coquille River Basin is open until Oct. 31. The daily limit for trout caught in streams is two and all streams and rivers in the basin are open to use of bait.

Smallmouth bass are biting on the mainstem and South Fork Coquille rivers. There is no size limit or bag limit on the number of smallmouth bass anglers can keep in the Coquille

Basin.

Anglers trolling near Rocky Point Boat Ramp are still picking up a few Chinook salmon but overall fishing is still on the slow. Anglers are reporting catching wild coho on the lower Coquille River over the past weekend. Anglers are allowed one wild coho per day and two for the season.

Crabbing has been slow in the lower Coquille River near Bandon.

Rogue River Chinook are spread throughout the lower river. Boat anglers side drifting or back bouncing eggs have been doing well. The estuary has been slow. Coho salmon are just starting to show in the bay and lower river.

Summer steelhead and halfpounder fishing has slowed down in the lower river. Most anglers are fly fishing or casting spinners. The best spots to target steelhead are the tail out or head of pools.

Pacific Ocean and beaches The recreational Dungeness crabbing is open in the ocean.

Crabbing has been better in the ocean than inside the local bays.

Fishing for bottom fish, including rockfish and lingcod, is now closed outside of the 30 fathom curve until Sept. 30. The marine fish daily bag limit is seven fish and a separate daily limit for lingcod is two. Retention of one cabezon per day is now allowed.

Chinook salmon fishing in the ocean remains open. Anglers have had good success fishing near Coos Bay and Winchester Bay. Trolling with cut plug herring works well.

The ocean non-selective coho season is open seven days per week until the end of September or until the 19,580 fish quota is met. Don’t forget, when salmon fishing in the ocean your hooks must be barbless.

Ocean coho fishing has been slow in the Bandon to Winchester Bay area.

Tenmile Basin Trout fishing has been slow in Tenmile Lakes due to warm water temperatures.

One hundred hatchery rainbow trout were tagged and released into Tenmile Lakes this spring for a tagged fish contest sponsored by Ringo’s Lakeside Marina. The trout were tagged with 2-inch long, blue, numbered tags that when caught by anglers can be redeemed for a prize at the marina.

Bass fishing has been decent for anglers in Tenmile Lakes.

Largemouth bass can be found in both shallow and deep water near weed lines and/or submerged logs.

Five or 6-inch Senko’s are a good bait to use to catch bass in Tenmile Lakes. Anglers should also try to use crankbaits to catch bass.

Yellow perch fishing has been very good in Tenmile Lakes recently.

Anglers are catching lots of yellow perch fishing right on the weed lines in 10 to 16 feet of water. The best baits are jigs and/or night crawlers fished on or near the bottom. Some of the yellow perch being caught are very large (12 to 15 inches).

Umpqua River, mainstem The mainstem Umpqua is closed to wild steelhead harvest, but remains open year-round for adipose fin-clipped steelhead. Chinook fishing is best below the U.S. Highway 101 and a few are being caught while trolling with the incoming tide. Some fall chinook are already finding their way upstream and have been caught by anglers.

Good upstream fishing areas includes from James Woods up to Umpqua boat ramp, plus Cleveland Rapids and River Forks. Bank anglers did fairly well last year at River Forks.

The warmer temperatures are making the smallmouth bass more active and available to anglers. The daily limit on smallmouth was increased to 15. Although the river is low, fishing for bass has been good.

The mainstem Umpqua remains open for catch and release trout fishing through Oct. 31, while the tributaries are closed.

Winchester Bay Winchester Bay has been good for chinook fishing in the ocean. A few fish are also starting to enter the freshwater and bank anglers at Half Moon Bay and Osprey Point are beginning to have some success.

The Umpqua from the mouth up to the Scottsburg Bridge is open for wild coho. Harvest is limited to one wild coho per day, two per season in aggregate. There is a 3,000 fish quota for the Umpqua which is the same as last year. A creel checker will be interviewing people for fishing information.

The Annual Winchester Bay Crab Bounty Hunt is also under way and will continue through the end of September If you catch a tagged crab, take it to the Sportsman’s Cannery to have it verified and checked in. Crabs are tagged with a numbered spinner blade attached to the rear leg.

Hunting in Coos County Grouse and quail seasons opened Sept. 1. For the past few years, brood survival for grouse has been very low due to rainy weather in May and June, which causes young chicks to get wet and become hypothermic. As a result populations are depressed in Coos County. There are some indications that this spring was less problematic for broods but the overall population is low enough due to past years that finding grouse remains difficult.

Quail populations are also decreased compared to the past but they are doing better than grouse. This is likely due to the fact that their broods hatch later in the spring than grouse. Hunters wanting to harvest quail will find the best hunting either in the vicinity of farm land for California quail or on exposed ridges for mountain quail.

Conditions for deer and elk are very dry in the Coast Range this year and the Oregon Department of Forestry reports that this is one of the worst fire seasons on record. As a result of the conditions most private lands are closed to motor vehicle access and many are closed to foot access, as well. Contact landowners for information on access. Hunters need to be especially careful with fire and activities that could result in causing a fire this year while hunting public lands.

Deer abundance in most of Coos County appears to be continuing on a slow increase. As in past years the highest density of deer will be found in southern Coos County. However, deer populations appear to be improving in other parts of the county, as well. Deer will be found in highest density near clear cuts with a high brush component in them. Due to dry and warm conditions the cuts on north slopes will be best for finding deer. Also, deer will be most active in early mornings and late evenings.

Elk can become quite inactive in dry warm conditions. Hunters should look for forest clearings such as clear cuts and meadows on north slopes where grass is a strong component of the vegetation. The best places will be where elk can easily get to water to drink and wallow and shaded north slopes to bed during the heat of the day.

Overall elk populations are good in Coos County. The Tioga Unit population is still below the management objective for the unit but shows improvement. Bull ratios in the county are at or above the management objective.

Bear numbers in the county are healthy. Dry weather conditions should cause bears to feed most actively near streams and berry patches. In years where berry production is so good bears can afford to be picky about where they feed.

So hunters may find many places where berries are available in profusion but bear sign is absent. When bears find places to feed without disturbance from humans they will likely continue to feed there.

Cougar season is currently open. Cougars are abundant throughout with indicators pointing to stable or increasing numbers. 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.

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. Many landowners with sheep are complaining about losses of sheep to coyote predation. Hunters interested in hunting coyotes may find success in asking for permission to hunt private land where landowners are losing sheep.
