Siltcoos and Tahkenitch

[JeannaJigs]

Has ALWAYS been 5 wild fish a year, total. Period. You can get 3 outta Tahk, 2 outta Siltcoos, or whatever, but your total tagged fish cannot be more than 5, or you'll get a nice ticket in the mail when you turn in your tag, or, you get checked, and there's a trooper that likes to check tags often on the Siuslaw, checked mine twice in one day, and about 7 times total last year during the winter. They just changed the wording to make it clearer. Check the old reg books going back to 2003..each year they've played the wording differently, trying to make it simpler.

Coho jacks are between 15-20 inches and you do not need to tag them.
For 2009 the annual limit is 5 adult coho from each lake as specified in the regulation booklet. There is no annual limit on coho jacks. In the future, we intend to have the annual limit of five adults be for both lakes in aggregate along with other coastal wild coho fisheries. However, in 2009 we did not specify that in the regulation booklet so five are allowed from each lake.
See # 2.


Thanks for checking and good luck fishing!

Dear ODFW,



I have a couple of questions regarding the cohos in Siltcoos and Tahkenitch Lake.



1) Is a jack considered to be between 15"-20" and do you have to tag them?



2) What is the yearly limit for the cohos from these two lakes?



3) Is it 5 total for both lakes or is it 5 for each lake?







Thank You,



Tuan

This is the e-mail I had received from the ODFW. I had also talked to the sheriff there and was told that my information was correct. All I can say is talk to the ODFW.

Went Fishing on ole' Tahky yesterday and the day before.... nothing it's over this year, even tried to get a cutthroat but was unable to get one bite!!!

Heard that some late action had happened for salmon on wed the 16th in the Mallard arm, but aside from that nothing, the Bass are Lockjawed, no catfish, no salmon, no cuthroat. The water temp was 54 on the 19th and as of yesterday its was 46. I think that I will wait awhile till early spring.... I will miss that lake! I think its time to work the Coquille, Elk and Rogue, hmmm maybe even head down to ye' ole' Pistol

Never fished the Siltcoos before but I'll be in Florence this weekend so I'm thinking about working some water on Saturday. How's the run doing any irregular regs I should take note of? I'm bringing some eggs I cured some stee-lees and i have random vibrax spinners. Anything special I should be throwing?
