Wildlife area gate issue revisited

YAKIMA, Wash. — The question of whether or not there should be additional access gates into the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Department’s Wenas Wildlife Area, particularly from among the horse-friendly stretch of neighbors along North Wenas Road, has remained a hot-button and occasionally even contentious issue.

Early this month, staffers from the WDFW’s regional office sent out flyers to more than 200 landowners whose property falls within a quarter-mile of the elk fence, asking which of them might want to have an access gate into the wildlife area and why. Only three landowners indicated they would like to have a gate, a lower number than what Wenas Wildlife Area manager Cindi Confer had expected.

Those three landowners have been encouraged to give a 10-minute presentation on the needs and benefits of the gate they envision at a public hearing at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Selah Fire Station, 206 W. Fremont Ave.

One of the three would-be gate locations is a quarter-mile west of the Sheep Company entrance into the Wenas Wildlife Area, on the back side of a 160-acre horse-rearing and equine training operation called Paso del Mundo. The site had a gate that was once popularly used by horse riders as an alternative to the Sheep Company entrance until the access was closed and the gate removed by WDFW staffers in 2004. The couple that runs Paso del Mundo, Bruce Holtzner and Becky Hyde, have for nearly two years sought legislative intervention to have the access gate reopened.

Another requested gate is at the end of Cabin Lane, which is east of Sheep Company Road and runs directly north of — and as a de facto extension of — Gibson Road. The third requested access site is at the end of Fremuth Road, west of Sheep Company and north and east of North Wenas Road.

Members of the Wenas Citizens Advisory Group will hear and review the application presentations on Saturday and will make a recommendation on each to the WDFW, which will then do an internal review of each before making a final determination. The three landowners are to be notified by May 1 as to whether their request for a gate has been approved.

“We don’t have a set number that we would be looking at approving,” said Confer, the wildlife area manager. “We could be approving none of them or we could be approving all three.” Determining factors, she said, would include the merits of each gate and the logistical demands that might be placed on department staff, either to install the gate or to maintain it.

Yakima River Canyon Marathon to feature banner women’s field

YAKIMA, Wash. — Regina Joyce may not be the same runner she was in 1984, when she represented Ireland and placed 23rd in one of the most famous distance races of all time — the inaugural Olympic women’s marathon that turned winner Joan Benoit into a national hero and vaulted women’s distance running dead-center into the public eye for the first time.

Gail Hall of Bothell may not be the same runner she was in the mid-1990s, when she ranked among the United States’ top female marathoners.

Mary Hanna of Maple Valley may not be the same runner she was five years ago, when she ran the fastest of her four Yakima River Canyon Marathon-winning performances, a two-hour, 58-minute gem that still ranks as the Canyon race’s record.

Camille Moseley of Cheney may not be the same runner she was 18 months ago, when she, too, ran a 2:58 marathon at the tender age — by marathon standards, anyway — of 24 … and not long afterward became pregnant with her first child.

But while each member of that quartet may not be as formidable as she once was, each is still fast. And they may just make each other faster still.

“It’s always great to have people running near you,” said Moseley, 26, running her first marathon since giving birth to her son, Miles, eight months ago. “It’s kind of exciting to know there might be people out there.

“I’ve never run a longer race with somebody, so … I don’t know. If they were there toward the end, that’s when it’s more important to have somebody there to key off of, because it’s starting to hurt so bad.”

As a high-schooler at Kittitas, Moseley (then Camille Gibb) was a rare triple-crown winner (800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters) at the state track meet. She then went on to become a Big Sky Conference standout at Eastern Washington University.

She’s not sure what to expect, though, in her first marathon since becoming a mother.

“I think I’ll be OK,” said Moseley, who has built back up to 70-mile training weeks. “I lost all the weight (from the pregnancy); that was good. There’s days when I can still tell I had a baby not too long ago, but for the most part I feel like a runner again. I’m not as fast as I was, but I think if I work at it, it’ll come back.”

Hanna, 49, is also making a bit of a comeback from a physical setback, though a decidedly different one: Her training was going well until the middle of last week, when she came down with a bad cold that kept her from running for four days. Her first time back on the roads after the ailment was Monday morning, and she still had some labored breathing.

“I had high hopes before I got sick,” said Hanna, whose YRCM victories came in 2005-07 and 2009. “I’m hoping a 3:10 to 3:12 is still realistic, but I won’t know until I settle into my pace, see how my lungs are doing.

“I’m excited about running with Regina and Gail. I’ve never run a marathon they ran, so it’ll be fun. They’re really nice people.”

Interestingly, while Hanna has never run a marathon against either Joyce or Hall, neither of the latter two has ever run against the other — despite the fact that they’ve trained together for more than two decades.

“I’m doing (the Canyon race) mostly because the training partner I’ve had for 24 years and I are actually going to run it together,” said Joyce, a veteran of 21 marathons who resides in Lynn-wood. “She thinks we’re going to run 3:15 or better, and I’m thinking, ‘No we’re not!’”

Joyce laughed as she said that last part, only because she’d rather save her legs for the Kentucky Derby Marathon four weeks later. At 54, she can still run a fast marathon; it’s just not as easy on the body. That was evidenced by her solid sub-3:10 in winning last August’s Humpy’s Marathon in Anchorage, which might have been much faster had she not struggled over the last few miles.

“At Anchorage, I wanted to see if I could still push myself,” she said. “I was having a great pace until about 23 miles — I was on pace for a 3:03 or 3:04 — and for the first time in my life I actually hit the wall.

“The more I’ve run of (marathons), the more I’m convinced there’s no such thing as an easy marathon. You’re still pounding out the 26 miles. But I’ve never had so much fun running as I have in the last year. I just really enjoy the running. The competitive thing comes out, but that’s not really why I’m doing it.”

And what happens if, after this pre-race decision to run the race together, Hall decides to pick up the pace?

“We’re both very competitive. She just doesn’t want to admit it,” Joyce said with a chuckle. “But I think we’ll run it together. If it ends up being 3:15 or 3:20, that’s fine.”

Hanna isn’t sure either Joyce or Hall will settle for anything but a quick time.

“It would not surprise me if Gail and Regina were faster than they think they’ll be,” Hanna said. “And I don’t know Camille Moseley, but

I would love it if all four women were running together. I just think that’s fun.”

Fun and, very possibly, fast.

Reports of ‘springer fever’ beginning to crop up all around Valley

YAKIMA, Wash. — Spring has sprung, and many people have contracted what is commonly known as “spring fever.” This malady’s varying symptoms include the desire to get out in the garden or the golf course, or, heaven forbid, to clean the house in some major fashion.

Many anglers in our area suffer from a related ailment: “springer fever.” Its symptoms include wanting to get out on the water and do battle with what many consider the most prized of all game fish — the spring chinook salmon.

Of all the different symptoms of springer fever, cleaning the house is not one of them. Clean the garage, maybe. Clean the boat, most definitely. But the house? Let’s just wait and see how bad the fever is.

Actually, fishing for spring chinook in the Columbia River has been happening since January. A few springers were caught that month, anglers caught a few more in February and recently the fishing has been picking up. As of last week, some 1,350 hatchery spring chinook had been caught in the fishery open on the Columbia below I-205.

No official figures are available on how many spring chinook have been hooked by anglers and were then gobbled up by the thieving sea lions that have set up shop in the area. I know of at least one: Buzz Ramsey and a couple of friends had a beautiful chinook ripped away from them by a sassy sea lion on a trip earlier this month.

Figures from the WDFW a couple of weeks ago showed that spring chinook anglers fishing from boats in the lower river averaged just one fish per 17 hours fished. As the water temperatures warm, the river drops and more fish show up, the catching should improve.

So, anglers suffering from springer fever have an option for cooling the temperature by heading to the Columbia near Portland. But with higher gas prices, a one fish limit, and the fishing on the slow side, most of us are suffering along, and will wait for the fish to get higher up in the system, to fishing spots a little closer to home.

A couple of those popular spring chinook fishing holes, the Wind River and Drano Lake at the mouth of the Little White Salmon River, opened for fishing March 15. But with a total of 49 fish over Bonneville Dam at the time, finding one of those fish would be like finding a piece of rice in a snow storm. As of Sunday, only 125 fish had climbed the fish ladders at Bonneville.

Sure, there have been years when the fishing at the Wind and Drano is good in mid- to late March. I was lucky enough to catch one of the biggest springers

I have ever caught, a 30-pound pig, on March 15 one year. I think that was in 2003, when 4,355 springers had already passed over the dam.

This year’s run start-up is more akin to the past eight years or so. Last year by March 27, only 289 fish total had made it over Bonneville. In 2009, the count was 113 total, and in 2008 it was 116.

So it’s going to be a while longer until it is worth hooking up the boat and heading towards the Gorge.

This year’s estimated number of spring chinook returning to the Columbia above Bonneville is 198,000. Last year some 315,000 made it up over the dam. But the shorter fishing seasons projected for below the dam may give us a few more early fish to try to catch.

While we are throwing numbers around, if you haven’t heard, the projections for summer chinook returning to the Columbia is 91,900. And the fall chinook run forecast is whopping 760,000, of which some 398,000 are predicted to be upriver brights headed for the Hanford Reach. So that’s something to look forward to.

In the meantime, springer fever has set in and it is spring salmon that occupy our thoughts. Until they arrive, however, we all sit and wait. We wait for the warmer temperatures. And we wait for the fish.

Some people would suggest that a good house cleaning might help quell the fever. I’ve tried it in the past without much success. The most successful cure is to have a silvery bright, hard-fighting spring chinook tugging at the end of your line.

Even that doesn’t always work. Sometimes it just makes the fever worse.

3/29 What’s Happening

Range cleanup slated for April 16

The annual cleanup of the Wenas Wildlife Area’s informal shooting range off Sheep Company Road is coming up in a couple of weeks.

The volunteer-driven event, organized by the Wenas Valley Muzzleloaders, is set for Saturday, April 16. The clean-up project is tailor-made for hunters and master-hunter candidates looking for service opportunities, as well as target shooters who hate what a dump the shooting range too often becomes.

Check-in for volunteers will be at 8 a.m. at the second cattle guard on the Sheep Company Road entrance into the wildlife area, roughly six miles north of Selah off North Wenas Road. Bring shovels, rakes and gloves and be sure to sign in to ensure coverage by state L&I.

For more information, call Wenas Valley Muzzleloaders president Bill Remington at 509-697-6791 or project coordinator Don Witke at 509-697-6378.

WDFW officers nab Kennewick poacher

An investigation by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers has led to a Kennewick man pleading guilty to charges of illegal big-game hunting in the Blue Mountains.

Jason Locke, 37, pleaded guilty March 9 in Columbia County District Court to poaching a bull elk and using a hunting license illegally. Locke was fined a total of $11,345, including a $6,000 criminal wildlife assessment penalty for taking a trophy-size bull elk. Two other men earlier pleaded guilty to charges of unlawfully transporting wildlife in that case.

The investigation was sparked by an anonymous tip to WDFW last October. To report possible violations, reports can be filed by phone to 1-877-933-9847, e-mail to reportpoaching@dfw.wa.gov or text message to 847411 TIP411.

Boaters host expert on Ice Age flows

A presentation on the ice ages and cataclysmic floods that created glacial Lake Missoula — once as large as some of the continent’s Great Lakes — will highlight the April 5 meeting of the Yakima Valley Boat Club. The 7:30 p.m. presentation will be by George Last, president of the Lake Lewis chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute.

The Yakima Valley Boat Club’s monthly meetings at the museum are always open to the public. The club also maintains a boating and camping facility at Rimrock Lake. For more information, go online to www.yakimavalleyboatclub.org.

BIRD ALERT

Five members of the Yakima Audubon Society trekked about Snow Mountain Ranch this past weekend and came up with 27 species on a cold rainy day. Some of the highlights included Lewis’s woodpecker, Steller’s jay, western scrub-jay, Bewick’s wren, Pacific wren, golden-crowned kinglet, ruby-crowned kinglet, fox sparrow and golden-crowned sparrow.

Birding in the vicinity of the Toppenish National Wildlife Refuge produced looks at American white pelicans, a pair of sage sparrow about 40 yards from the Pumphouse Road, several tundra swans and large flocks of northern pintail ducks.

A hike up Selah Butte in the Yakima Canyon provided several signs of spring with pairs of chukars that exploding into flight from right under foot; a bald eagle huddled tight in the nest, perhaps incubating eggs; and early season migrants, with turkey vulture, Say’s phoebes, violet-green swallows, and vesper sparrows all being noted. Most exciting was an aerial dogfight by two prairie falcons that kept dive bombing one another near a cliff nest.

A juvenile northern goshawk was flushed from his perch just feet from the entrance to a chicken coop of a Moxee resident, and 10 American white pelicans were spotted flapping and soaring on the Yakima River upstream from Highway 24.

Please call bird sightings in to the Yakima Valley Audubon phone line at 509-248-1963.

AROUND AND ABOUT

PRIEST RAPIDS CLOSURE: The Priest Rapids Pool of the Columbia River will be closed throughout April and May to retention of smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, channel catfish and northern pikeminnow with circular (hole) punches in their dorsal fins. The reason: The Grant County PUD and the WDFW are implanting acoustic tags into selected game fish species to learn more about their movement patterns within the Priest Rapids Pool. That requires anesthetizing them, and per FDA guidelines anesthetized fish must have a 21-day “withdrawal period” before they can be consumed.

SCHOOL SNOWSHOE WALKS: Mount Rainier National Park is offering curriculum-based snowshoe education programs for school groups, with mini-grants available to subsidize transportation for schools to bring students to the park this spring. For information about the walks schedule and bus subsidy grants, call Fawn Bauer at 360-569-6037.

********

ON THE CALENDAR

TODAY: The Cascadians’ “Tuesdays” will do a hike in the Wenas area. The group will meet at 8 a.m. at the 40th Avenue Bi-Mart parking lot and head out from there. Prepare for weather, bring lunch, plenty of water and lots of energy, because the “Tuesdays” have no shortage of the latter.

TODAY: If you’re not quite ready or willing to keep up with the “Tuesdays,” the Cascadians’ “Tuesday Twos” might be more your speed. This group’s plan for the day is a six-mile round-trip of the Selah Butte Trail above the Yakima Canyon, an intermediate hike with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain and great views. The group meets at the Bi-Mart (40th Ave.) parking lot at 8:30 a.m., departing promptly at 8:45. As with the Tuesdays, riders in the carpool should be prepared to chip in for gas.

THURSDAY: In another change from the Cascadian newsletter, the club’s Pokies group will do a trek at Snow Mountain Ranch. For meeting time and place, call Nancy Hein at 509-698-3547.

SATURDAY: The Cascadians’ David Hagen will lead a “Mystery Hike,” possibly in the Whisky Dick area or the Ginkgo backcountry, somewhere between easy-intermediate and easy-advanced, with up to 2,000 feet of elevation gain. For meeting time and place, call Hagen at 509-965-3697.

NEXT WEDNESDAY (April 6): The Mount Adams Cycling Club will begin its regular Wednesday evening rides of the Naches loop, but with a new starting location at Suntides Golf Course. (That’s right: It won’t be from the Fred Meyer/Key Bank lot this year.) The rides will begin at 5:30 p.m. until being moved back to 6 later in the year when the days are long enough.

Yakima River Report (March 28)

YAKIMA, Wash. –Here’s the latest Yakima River report, circa Monday, March 28, from Jim Gallagher of Troutwater Fly Shops and Guide Services in Cle Elum and Ellensburg.

The skwala dry fly fishing on the Yakima river has been good some days and not so good others. It seems dependent on the afternoon weather. If temperature is in the upper 40s, the dry fly fishing happens. We also have seen intermittent hatches of March brown duns and blue wing olives. These mayflies have been appearing about 1 p.m.. Nymphing techniques using a dropper system continue to be most consistent for catching trout. The Yakima river is greenish/brown below the Teanaway with reduced water clarity downstream in the Ellensburg and in the lower Yakima river canyon areas. The fish seem well acclimated to the reduced water clarity having been in it for the past three weeks. The water is very clear in the Cle Elum area. We’re excited with the forecasted improvements in weather for this upcoming week and weekend.

Thanks to Jim, and happy fishing.
