Get-a-Way Suite * Fishing Floats Lincoln City
Find A Fish Floats In Lincoln City, Oregon
In days gone by, visitors searching Oregon's beaches near Lincoln City
often found treasures from the east: blown glass floats, in intriguing shades of
green and blue.
Used by Japanese fishing crews to float their nets, these
spheres were as small as two inches (5 cm) or as large as two feet (.6 m). They
were hoarded, polished and adored, the ultimate find for a dedicated
beachcomber.

Foulweather Crash Is Fatal (Newport News-Times)
A Washington man died Thursday morning, and his wife was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 101 on the south side of Cape Foulweather.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that fishing vessels around the world use buoyant
plastic, a blown glass float is a rare find - except on the beaches of Lincoln
City, where more than 2,000 of them are found each winter, a few placed on the
beach each day the ocean permits it. We put out the number of floats reflected
by the year - so 2001 in 2001, 2002 in 2002, etc.....
The project
began in 1997, when a local artist first thought of glass floats as an
intriguing way to launch the new millennium. Lincoln City sponsored the project,
hosting the inaugural season in 1999-2000. Tourists came from around the country
to search for their own brilliantly-colored, signed and numbered glass float.
For Lincoln City, the Millennium Float project was a perfect combination
of art and the outdoors. Those who came in search of a float often found their
way to area galleries, where unnumbered floats were available for sale along
with a dizzying array of fine art glass from around the world.
The city
continues the promotion annually, running from October to Memorial Day - with
hand-crafted glass floats being placed along the 7-1/2 miles (12 km) of public
beach in Lincoln City, from the Roads End area to the Cutler City area. You find
it, you keep it!
Floats may be found above the high tide line and before
the beach embankment. Floats will not be found in or on the cliffs. Please be
aware of beach safety. Never turn your back on the ocean! Sneaker waves and the
force of the ocean often move logs and can be unsafe. Floats are not hidden on
the beaches during storms.
An exhibit of historic glass fishing floats
can be viewed at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum.
When you
find a float, call the Visitor Center, 1-800-452-2151 or 541-996-1274, and
register your float. We will send a Certificate of Authenticity and information
about the artists that crafted your float. Some numbers are selected at random
to receive additional prizes, so registering is important.
Special
drawings are held monthly at the Visitor Center for glass floats. Bring a bag of
beach trash to the Visitor Center, 801 SW Hwy 101, #1 (next door to Price N
Pride Food Center) or to North Lincoln Sanitary. 1726 SE Highwy 101, and fill
out an entry form. Handicapped persons with a handicap sticker number are also
eligible to enter and win a monthly float drawing.
