Fishing
from 1B
season as most fish have
already spawned.
COOS
caught from the lower river up
to the hatchery. Good numbers
of fish typically start returning
over the next few weeks.
SALMON RIVER: Steelhead
Winter steelhead are starting
to show up in most coastal
basins. Salmon River does get a
good return of wild winter
steelhead and an occasional
stray hatchery fish.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
Chinook
Winter steelhead season is
underway with a small number
steelhead being caught from
the lower river up to
Moonshine Park by both bank
and boat anglers. This time of
year is typically slow to fair for
winter steelhead. Fall Chinook
fishing is slow as most remain-
ing fish have moved onto the
spawning grounds.
SIUSLAW
RIVER:
Steelhead, Chinook
Winter steelhead are starting
to show up in small numbers
around the mid to lower sec-
tions of the Siuslaw and Lake
Creek. Fall Chinook fishing is
very slow and any remaining
fish have moved onto the
spawning grounds.
WILSON RIVER: Chinook,
steelhead
Fall Chinook are still avail-
able in decent numbers. Fish
should be spread out through
the river, especially after rains
raised the river last week.
Release dark fish to spawn. All
techniques should produce
fish, with bobber and bait,
back bouncing, bait-wrapped
plugs, and casting spinners
among the best.
Winter steelhead are avail-
able in increasing numbers as
well.
YAQUINA
RIVER
BASIN:
Dungeness crab, bay clams,
steelhead
Steelhead have been caught
this past week on the West Fork
Millicoma,
East
Fork
Millicoma, and South Fork
Coos rivers. There is bank
access on the West Fork
Millicoma at the Millicoma
Interpretive Center and on the
East Fork Millicoma at Nesika
Park. Access to the South Fork
Coos River is through
Weyerhaeuser property and
anglers must have the appropri-
ate permit from Weyerhaeuser.
In the Coos Basin, one addi-
tional fin-clipped steelhead
may be retained per day for a
total aggregate of three adult
fish harvested daily.
Crabbing in Coos Bay has
been decent for boat crabbers.
The best crabbing has been
near the jetties but crabbers are
getting legal-size crab all the
way up to the BLM Boat
Ramp.
Clamming is excellent dur-
ing low tides near Charleston,
off Cape Arago Highway, and
Clam Island.
UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH:
Steelhead
The South Umpqua is open
for steelhead. The peak num-
bers of fish normally show up
from February to late March.
The South Umpqua offers the
best chance for catching an
adipose-fin clipped steelhead
for harvest.
The hatchery program for
winter steelhead is centered in
the South Umpqua. Most
hatchery fish are caught from
Canyonville downstream.
All wild fish must be
released unharmed.
TENMILE BASIN: Yellow
perch, coho salmon
Yellow perch are biting on
night crawlers or jigs tipped
with a worm in Tenmile Lakes.
Yellow perch will be concen-
trated in big schools in deep
water. Sometimes anglers need
to try several spots before find-
ing the bigger fish. There are
lots of smaller yellow perch
that anglers have to sort
through to catch enough keep-
ers for a meal. Some of the
keeper yellow perch are over
12 inches long.
The wild coho season open
in Tenmile Lakes is closed.
WINCHESTER
BAY:
Chinook, fin-clipped coho
Most salmon have already
moved upstream. Fishing for
bottomfish in the Triangle and
South jetty has been successful.
Crabbing has been good
recently.
PACIFIC
BEACHES:
OCEAN
and
Bottomfish,
Dungeness crab
The ocean is open again for
harvest of Dungeness crab.
Fishing for bottom fish, includ-
ing rockfish and lingcod is
open to all depths. The marine
fish daily bag limit is seven fish
and a separate daily limit of
two lingcod.
Retention of cabezon is
allowed but for only one
cabezon per day per angler.
P ACIFIC H ALIBUT :
The 2014 Pacific halibut sea-
sons have all closed for the
remainder of the year. The
International Pacific Halibut
Commission will set 2015 quo-
tas for all areas in late January
2015. More information on the
2015 seasons will be available
after that time.
B OTTOM F ISHING :
The ocean is open to bottom
fishing at all depths. This time
of year, whenever the weather
permits, bottom fishing can be
great fun and very productive.
Charter fishing trips are an
especially good bet for visitors
to the coast, making an ocean
fishing experience easy and
enjoyable with expert crews to
help provide and rig gear and
find good fishing locations.
There are separate daily lim-
its of two lingcod and flatfish
other than Pacific halibut.
Remember: Yelloweye rock-
fish and canary rockfish may
not be retained.
C RAB :
Ocean-caught crabs are big
and full of meat this year,
although crabbers might have
to pay their dues in patience —
many crabbers are reporting
slow catch rates, but excellent
quality crabs.
Bay crabbing can also be
very good this time of year.
Keep in mind that major rain
events can dramatically lower

RIVER:
Steelhead, Chinook
The winter steelhead run is
starting to kick in with anglers
getting into a few fish along
the Big Elk as conditions
allow. The fall Chinook fish-
ery is essentially over for the
the salinity in some bays and
prompt crab to move lower in
the bay or out to the ocean.
