Exciting News for Willamette Valley Fishermen!
The Register Guard published an article about this year's salmon projections for the Willamette River on May 18th, 2010. In this article Mike Stahlberg shared some very interesting numbers in regards to this year's salmon projections. Here is what Northwest fishermen have to look forward to in 2010.

Portland fishermen have been pulling Springer's out of the Willamette River at a record pace this year. Strong early season counts indicate above average runs of spring chinook and steelhead on the Santiam, McKenzie and Middle Fork Willamette rivers. Both species of these sea-run fish are on pace to produce their biggest local runs since 2004.

Anglers are already catching some salmon and steelhead in the Middle Fork Willamette and McKenzie but action in Lane county waters is expected to heat up over the next few weeks. The ODFW is projecting a total run of 63,000 Willamette spring chinook, and these estimates may prove to be too conservative! Already there have been more salmon that have passed the counting window at Willamette falls than we have seen in several years, and it is very early in the season. Current catch rates indicate that we may have a run that exceeds the run in 2004 which totaled over 95,000 adult chinook.

If you live in the Willamette Valley and are looking to go salmon or steelhead fishing, this is the year! Upper Willamette Basin anglers can take advantage of new permanent bag limits allowing the harvest of three adult salmon or steelhead, no more than two of which may be salmon. Only adipose fin clipped salmon may be retained, but regulations are allowing anglers to keep steelhead with their adipose fins intact, provided they are 24 inches in length. Steelhead 23 inches and smaller may only be kept if their adipose fins have been clipped.
Salmon Showdown!
Y Marina would like to formally introduce our first annual Salmon Showdown. From June 1st through June 30th, Y Marina is holding a special contest for all of its Y Family Members.

So stop by with your catch today, you have nothing to lose!
Y Marina Honored
In May, Y Marina was honored by the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce by receiving the Four Star Customer Service Award. We were sent the following letter from Representative Arnie Roblan;

To the Management and Staff of Y Marina;

I recently learned that Y Marina has been selected by the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce to receive their Four Star Customer Service Award. I am writing to congratulate you for earning this recognition.

At a time when many businesses are becoming more impersonal and less responsive to individual customer needs, it is wonderful to know that businesses such as yours continue to make customer service a high priority. Your consistently helpful and friendly manner of conducting business is an asset for the business climate in the entire area. Again, congratulations to everyone on your staff for being selected by the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce to receive the Four Star Customer Service Award.

Sincerely, Representative Arnie Roblan Speaker Pro Tempore House District 9

We are extremely honored to receive this award from our local Chamber of Commerce. We would like to thank our wonderful staff for continuing to live up to the standard that we have set for customer service since our inception almost 40 years ago. We would also like to thank our Y Family Members for being the best customers that any business could ask for. Without you, Y Marina could not become the business that we strive to be.
John Griffith's June Fishing Tips
Coos Bay shad appear to have followed our once-famous striped bass fishery into oblivion.

Spring used to mean running up the Millicoma or Coos River and catching a mess of shad on light tackle, typically from early may to mid-June. Shad characteristically meant warm evening fishing, small boats and motors, creeping-slow trolling into the current and doubles or even triples on at a time.

Not anymore. For at least the past two years, and some would argue it's been longer than that, shad fishing on Coos Bay's two big tributaries has been almost a bust. I drove my boat all the way up to Dellwood last June hunting for shad, and saw only one hole that had any in it. None were in the Millicoma.

Other streams appear to be doing fine. I nosed around enough to learn it's only our shad run that disappeared. Shad aren't monitored anymore to any real extent by fishery managers. But they are counted along with every other fish species as they pass through Columbia River dams, and Department of Fish and Wildlife employees are, like the critters they watch over, aware of their environment.

"It does look like it's going to be a fairly good year, as far as the Umpqua," said Laura Jackson at the ODFW office in Roseburg. She can't know for sure, even after the season is over, because there's no bag limit or harvest card for shad, and no longer a commercial fishery. She bases her estimates on how many people ODFW staff see fishing, and from their own fishing. People fish on the Umpqua from the bank, primarily, and it's all above the reach of tide at places like Yellow Creek, above Elkton. Shad on the Coos and Millicoma stay in tidewater and we fish primarily by trolling small lures called shad darts; well, we used to.

Bonneville Dam fish counts have shown no sharp decrease in shad. The run there peaked in 2004 and has trended downward a little, but not outstandingly.

Nobody knows what happened to our shad run, to our fun. It feels so hauntingly like what happened to our stripers that I called a recognized striper expert, Reese Bender, who retired from ODFW about a decade ago.

"Why they would collapse, to me, is a total mystery," Reese said of our missing shad run. He has a more studied idea of what caused our stripers to decline so abruptly and completely in Coos Bay because he worked on that question while at ODFW. At my prodding, he was careful to only suggest correlations to shad and striper spawning requirements and how environmental changes on the bay could negatively affect shad.

I need to put some history in here because it relates to these fishes' biology, and because shad and striped bass are related in other important ways. They are not native to this coast. "On 19 June 1871, Seth Green of the New York Fish Commission, known to many as the 'Father of Fish Culture in America' but employed temporarily by the California Fish Commission, left the Hudson River in New York en route by train to California. With him were 12,000 newly hatched American shad in milk cans. Never before had such a trip been attempted, and on his way across the continent he tended the fish with care, coupled with anxiety." * There was six other stockings, or "plants" of shad until the last in 1881. The first West Coast stocking of striped bass was, according to the same source, in 1879, with more to follow. Both stripers and shad became self-sustaining fish species in many California and Oregon streams.

Coos Bay earned fame as a striper game fishing Mecca when Joe Brooks, fishing editor at Field and Stream magazine, caught a world fly fishing record striper here in 1949. Striper numbers in Coos Bay went into decline in the late 1970s, and although there had been fluctuations before, this drop was more serious. The local port authority did some channel deepening in about 1980 and the decline in stripers got worse. Finally in the 1990s, a larger channel deepening project was completed and striper reproduction appears to have ceased altogether.

Striped bass and shad are so-called broadcast spawners, Reese explained, in that they don't construct nests like salmon and black bass do. Their fertilized eggs drift on the current, slowly settling toward the river bottom. The eggs cannot survive sharp changes in salinity for, in the case of striped bass, the first 10 days. Hydrologically, channel deepening allowed saltier water to push farther up Coos River and bay, having the effect of shortening the reach of lower salinity water that stripers and shad rely on for successful spawning. Since these fish still went to the same places in the river forks to spawn as they did before channel deepening, their fertilized eggs had less time to bounce along on or near the bottom of low- or zero-saline water before encountering water of higher salinity.

If this hypothesis is correct, although it probably will not be tested, shad might have persisted longer on the Coos and Millicoma than striped bass did due to differences in spawning. Stripers usually spawn only one or two nights per year; shad do it ever a period of weeks. That trait spreads the risk of reproductive failure out over more days. Also, fertilized shad eggs sink a little faster than striper eggs because they are slightly less buoyant, and current near the bottom of a river is slower due to friction than it is on top, so shad eggs would move less far than striped bass eggs over the same period. That would delay and somewhat lessen the effect of a saltwater wedge higher in the river channels.

I will look up the Coos and Millicoma for shad this year out of curiosity and habit, but frankly I have little hope of finding them there. I will also fish on the Coquille for them. The Coquille never was the equal to the Coos for shad, but I've caught them there. I pretty much gave up on the Umpqua for shad in 1992, when the Roseburgers discovered Sawyer Rapid as a result of the river dropping so low so early in the year that shad couldn't get to up to Yellow Creek in time for the big annual lip ripping. When Sawyer Rapid is good, it's stuffed with anchored driftboats now, shutting bank angling down.

June Fishing Buzz
Fishing season is finally here. Chinook and halibut seasons are in full swing, the bass are beginning to bite, and our outlook on all seasons have not shown brighter in years. Here is just a small taste of the buzz surrounding some our Y Family Members;

Salmon - Chinook season started over Memorial Day weekend and we have heard some reports of successful fishing off of our coastal water. The fish that have been caught have been caught in very deep water, sometimes over 400 ft. Make sure that you have the correct cannon ball on your downrigger so that your bait reaches the depth that these chinook are being found. Also, please remember to bring your prize catch to Y Marina to enter the 1st annual Salmon Showdown. The winner of this year’s event will win a prize valued at up to $900.

Bottom Fishing - Bottom fishing continues to be hot off of the southern Oregon coast. Most fishermen have been reaching their limit of both blacks and lings in a very short amount of time on the water. Many of fish brought in have also been quite large.

Bass & Trout - Bass and trout fisherman fishing in our small local lakes were very successful in the month of May. Ten Mile has been a popular spot for catching both bass and trout this spring, and as we enter the summer months we should see the strong bite continue. Empire Lakes, in Coos Bay, is another great location to land some good sized trout. Bass fishing on the Umpqua has been a little slower this spring do to the high water levels and the sediment in the water creating visibility issues. We expect this fishery to get better as the weather improves.

Halibut - Halibut are being caught off of the southern Oregon coast, but weather has proved to be an issue for many fisherman. Rough seas and heavy rains have not made for ideal fishing conditions thus far. If you have had successes this Halibut season, we would love to hear about it!

Don’t forget, Y Marina now carries North Country Lures! Y Family Members have had great success with North Country Super Hoochies, Sonic Bells, and Super Magnums. These lures are American made, right up the road in Florence, Oregon by the Dean and Pat Hendricks. Hurry in before they are gone!

June Y Family Entry
For this month’s Y Family Entry we are going to feature a very cool follow up email that was sent to us from Henry, who works in marine search and rescue in South Carolina. Henry recently purchased a beautiful pre-owned 22’ Weldcraft Jet Boat here at Y Marina. He has since returned to his job, using his Weldcraft as a life saving vessel. Below is a short update from Henry with a picture of his Weldcraft which has now been rigged to save lives;

Kurt, Thought you might like to know that the 22’ Weld craft arrived in South Carolina to a busy season, 15 rescues thus far, and five of those in severe weather. We had three recues Saturday night, the Coast Guard credits three lives saved for the last 45 days. I will get you a picture with its new light top, topped with its red rotator light and 8" search light. So far so good!



Henry did write back soon after with a picture of his new Weldcraft which has been outfitted with new lighting, which you will see below. If you look carefully you may notice a famous building from a very popular movie. Henry is still busy saving lives in South Carolina. We wish him all the best and look forward to hearing about his next adventure.

June Recipe of the Month
Last month we surveyed our Y Family Members for a recipe that they would like to see for June’s Recipe of the month, and halibut was our winner. Halibut has always been a favorite of northwest fishermen and their families, and this recipe was a hit amongst our Y Family Members in the past. This halibut recipe was given to me by my soon to be wife, Ali Whitty. This recipe is extremely simple, and tastes absolutely amazing! We hope you enjoy June’s recipe of the month.
    Ingredients for Halibut and Tartar Sauce
  • 2 lbs Halibut fillets (preferably fresh)
  • 6 oz pretzels (finely crushed in a food processor)
  • 3 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 pickle (cut into fine pieces)
  • Dash of lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp fresh white onion (finely chopped)
    Halibut Preparation Instructions
  1. Cut halibut filets into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium high.
  3. Dip halibut in egg mixture and then into crushed pretzels.
  4. Place the coated fish cube into frying pan and cook until crispy on both sides.
    Tartar Sauce Preparation Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients into a small bowl and mix well.


    To compliment this delicious fish we prepared; homemade grilled potatoes soaked in vinegar, grilled corn on the cob, a green salad and fresh strawberries. The meal was topped off with fresh out of the oven blueberry muffins for dessert. This meal easily served seven or more, and can be prepared about an hour. The leftover fish from the meal made excellent fish tacos the following day.

    Please contact us if you have the opportunity to try this awesome halibut recipe. We are interested to hear if our Y Family members enjoyed the recipe as much as we did. Also, please do not forget to send in “your” favorite sea food recipe. Your recipe may be featured in our July Y Family Newsletter.

Joke of the Month
June’s Y Family Joke of the Month has been brought to you by Fishing Jokes.Net. This joke truly describes a fisherman’s philosophy for “a sure way to get a bite on a slow day.”

  • Talk about changing spots
  • Prepare another rod while one is out
  • Lay your rod down unsecured
  • Go for a sandwich
  • Start to pull the boat anchor
  • Use the worst fly you own
  • Crack open your first beer
  • Crack open your last beer
  • Take notice of the chick on a passing boat, bank or beach
  • Watch others fishing
  • Start reeling in your lines at going home time
  • Give your fishing rod to a female companion or child to hold
  • When your landing net is out of reach
  • When you have cast your line over an obstruction
  • When you line has drifted into impossible weeds
  • When you turn to look at the sunrise or sunset
  • Decide that you need to take a leak
