AREA SPORTS Area fishing excellent Perch and bluegills abound; trout out in Basin If you want to catch trout, forget the Columbia Basin for a while unless you plan to fish either Lenore Lake or Rocky Ford Creek. If you'd like to fillet a lot of perch, crappies and bluegills, you have a lot of choices. Remember, this is crappie time; the fish are schooled up and can provide some wonderful fishing. If your preference is steelhead, consider fishing the Grande Ronde, 4 Tucannon or Walla Walla rivers. You might do well on the Clearwater, but the Corps of Engineers has increased the flow from Dworshak Dam and' in FENTON effect, has washed out fishermen.

ROSKELLEY Trout, Spokane region: Fourth of July Lake may be the best choice for a quick limit Correspondent of 10- to I6-inch rainbows. Although the lake has been fished hard much of the winter season, it still has a relatively big population of trout. The lake is one of the few in the region that can be fished just about as effectively from shore as from a boat. Anglers usually line the banks on weekends. If you are planning on fishing from a boat, don't try to launch anything but a 12- or I4-foot aluminum boat from a trailer.

The lake is still far below normal, making launching from a trailer extremely difficult. Fishing hasn't been fast at Sprague Lake, but persistent and knowledgeable anglers have been catching some two- to three-pound rainbows and Lahonton cutthroat, Mike Mielke of the Sprague Lake Resort said. Anglers also have been catching a lot of small rainbows released last year. Mielke said most anglers have been trolling for trout. Ice on Williams north of Colville is rotten and could go out soon, biologist Curt Vail said.

When the ice is gone, he said, fishing should be good. "A lot of fish have been jumping in the water kept open by the aerator," he said. The winter fishing lakes will close at the end of this month. Bank fishermen have been catching some nice-sired rainbows in the Seven Bays Area of Lake Roosevelt. A six-pounder was caught last weekend at the mouth of Hawk Creek.

Quality trout waters: Fishing for the two- to three-pound Lahonton cutthroat in Lenore Lake has been picking up and should be good the next few weeks, Don Davis of the Soap Lake Bait and Tackle Shop said. The older cutthroat are thinking of spawning. Incidentally, when the new fishing regulations become effective, Lenore will be open only to catch-and-release fishing from April 16-May 31. From June 1-Nov. 30, the limit will be one fish a day.

The lake will be closed from Dec. 1 through the end of February. Rocky Ford Creek, a few miles north of Moses Lake, is continuing to attract fly fishermen from throughout the state. The Baetis mayflies and small midges are hatching; however, fly fishers have been hooking the rainbows and chinook salmon on everything from big Zonkers to No. 20 Pheasant Tail Nymphs.

Trout, March 1 lakes: For the most part, the two-score Columbia Basin lakes that were opened to fishing March I have been providing mediocre fishing. Only the most persistent anglers have been taking limits. Wildlife Department officials and some fishermen have been blaming the weather for the slow fishing, but some other water in the Basin, including Blythe and Corral, year-round lakes, have been providing excellent fishing. Fishermen have been complaining that they haven't been catching many yearling rainbows in the lakes of the Pillar-Widgeon chain and at Upper and Lower Hampton lakes and at Warden. Rita Butler of The Valley Forge at George.

said fishing has been slow at most of the lakes in the Quincy area. One of the better lakes has been Caliche. Trout, Idaho: Hayden is attracting some fishermen who are after the good-sized rainbow-cutthroat hybrids, Jeff Smith of the Fins and Feathers shop said. Using Needlefish and Krocadile spoons, the trollers are finding the hybrids 30 feet deep. Most of the ice is off Hauser and some are trolling for rainbows.

Anyone planning to troll for the mackinaw trout in Priest should check with the Priest Lake Marina before driving to the lake, Smith said. Snow may block the launching ramp. Steelhead: Female steelhead are about ready to drop their eggs and the males have turned dark and developed hooked jaws. However, good numbers of anglers are still going after the seagoing rainbows. If you are thinking of fishing for steelhead, check with a sporting gocds store before driving to the spot where you want to fish.

Rivers can go out of shape quickly this time of year. The Clearwater may be too high for good fishing. The Corps of Engineers, which earlier announced that releases from the Dworshak Dam might be curtailed for the benefit of anglers, is releasing 10,000 cubic feet per second and the stream has been high and wild. Rod Nichols of the Idaho Fish and Game Department said the corps indicated it will try to cut the flows on weekends to accommodate anglers. Although the stream was off color last weekend, anglers averaged 16 to 17 hours per fish, a good average for this time of year.

Washington fisheries biologist Mark Schuck of Dayton said now is the time to fish the Snake's tributaries. Fishing has been terrific on parts of the Grande Ronde, some anglers hooking and releasing up to 10 steelhead a day. Fishing also has been good in the Tucannon and Walla Walla. "Keep in mind that those streams are susceptible to quick weather changes," he said. "They can be low and clear one day and high and muddy the next." This is the time of year when steelhead move up out of the Columbia River and into the Methow to spawn, creating excellent fishing.

Not this year. The run was mediocre and fishing has been slow. Spiny rayed fish: The Potholes Reservoir is continuing to delight crappie and bluegill anglers. Mike Meseberg of the Mar-Don Resort said the best spot to fill a bucket with the fish is at the mouth of the Frenchman Hills Wasteway. Best time to fish, he said, is late afternoon, when the water temperature has risen a few degrees.

Meseberg said anglers have hooked a few walleyes in the Potholes Reservoir and Soda Lake, but fishing for that species is just getting started. Evergreen Reservoir, Stan Coffin Lake and Lake have been yielding large numbers of small bluegills, perch and crappies, as well as a few bass. Anglers have been catching perch and crappies at Fernan Lake. However, crappie fishing has been sporadic. Dave Nall of the Westside Resort at Hauser said crappie fishing usually is excellent soon after the ice cap has melted.

At mid-week, large portions of the lake were ice-free. Salmon: Some coastal areas have been providing fair to good fishing for chinook and coho salmon. Here are the latest checks: Fort Warden, three anglers with two chinooks; Sekiu, 53 with 14 chinook and 15 cohos; Ediz Hook, 37 with 10 chinook; Sequim Bay, 14 with four chinook and six cohos; Seattle area, Norton Avenue Ramp, 48 with six chinooks and six cohos; Coronet Bay, 22 with five chinooks and 12 cohos, and Point Defiance, 95 with 27 chinook. Chinooks average seven pounds. Anglers have been able to spot large numbers of chinooks on their sonars at Lake Coeur d'Alene, but the salmon have had lockjaw.

Eastern Michigan rallies to beat GU at Fresno tourney Scott Evans' two-out RBI double in the top of the seventh inning lifted the Eastern Michigan Hurons to a 5-4 college baseball win over the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the PepsiMe-N-Ed's Classic tournament Thursday at Belden Field in Fresno, Calif. Evans, who finished 4-for-5 with two ROUNDUP doubles, also had one of three RBI doubles in the sixth inning as EMU scored three runs off losing pitcher Tim Gower.

The Hurons (2-2 in the tournament, 4-7 overall) finished with 17 hits off Gower and reliever Neil Mefford, who gave up Evans' game-winner. GU (2-2, 11-4) held a 4-0 lead after three innings before EMU rallied. John Tsoukalas was 3-for-4 and Doug Demtre 2-for-2 with an RBI for Gonzaga. The Bulldogs left at least one runner on base in five of the last six innings but could not score. In the bottom of the ninth, GU stranded runners at first and second after getting them there with no outs.

Gonzaga built its lead with three runs in the second inning and another in the third. In the second, Chris Bugni had a run-scoring double and Doug Demtre hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to make it 2-0. A balk by pitcher Bill Bates scored another run and third baseman Steve Waite's high throw to first enabled Tom Schoesler to score on Mike Redmond's ground ball. In the third, Rich Miailovich hit a one-out home run over the 330-foot sign in the left-field corner. It was his second homer of the season, first of the tournament.

The Bulldogs will meet host Fresno State today, a team which has beaten them twice this week in non-tournament games. FSU is ranked 25th in the Collegiate Baseball ESPN poll and 20th by Baseball America. WSU 8, Concordia Lutheran 5: Jason King went 5- for-5 and the Cougars pounded out 16 hits and posted the win over the Stags in Austin, Texas. WSU starter Joe Avey picked up the win in his first start of the season by allowing just one hit in five innings. The Cougars were to play Baylor Thursday, but rained washed out their attempt to play for the second straight day.

WSU opens a three-game series today against the University of Texas. The Cougars and Longhorns will play single games today, Saturday and Sunday. Community Colleges of Spokane 20, Central Adzona 7: Adam Hendrickson had five RBI, including a three-run double in the second inning, as the Sasquatch (3-1) pounded out 17 hits to thump the Vaqueros at Scottsdale, Ariz. Dave Keller added a three-run homer in the third inning and Carlo Trenti a two-run shot in the second for CCS, making a winner out of pitcher Tom Altenberger. Altenberger, 1-1, had five strikeouts in four innings.

College softball: CCS (2-0) posted a pair of wins in the South Mountain (Ariz.) Community College tournament in Phoenix. The Sasquatch's Leslie Young earned the win and got a hit as CS downed Adams State 1-0, in the first game of the day. In the second game, Desiree Busche hit a home run and Linda Anderson added a triple as the Sasquatch parlayed 13 hits into an 8-4 win over host South Mountain. Linda Tucker was the winner for CCS. Golf: The Downriver Men's Club will hold its first meeting of the season at the clubhouse tonight at 6:30.
