ALSEA RIVER: Cutthroat
trout
The cutthroat trout fishery is
fair in the mainstem and in
some of the large tributaries.
With the low and warm river
conditions the best opportuni-
ties will be in the early morn-
ing when water temperatures
are the coolest. Small spinners
are typically productive as
wells as small spoons or fly
fishing with nymphs or
streamers.
SALMON RIVER: Cutthroat
trout
Cutthroat trout fishing is

Don’t let the alliteration or

this would be a pretty formida-

A lot of these guys could
really hit. Ping Bodie was Babe
Ruth’s roommate and was a
smack talker extraordinaire.
Coco Crisp is a contempo-
rary, and we know that kid can
run and hit and kick.
Minnie Minoso should be in
the Hall of Fame.
And Billy Batsch?
Well, we had a real problem
with Billy Batsch. Bill was a

that’s a whole other story.
ductive. Using small lures like
spinners, spoons or various
flies can be productive.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
cutthroat trout
Summer steelhead fishing is
fair in the upper river. Low
flows and warming river tem-
peratures is making new fish
race up into the cooler holding
waters of the gorge area.
New fish will continually be
moving into the river through
the summer with peak num-
bers typically in July.
River flows are much lower
than normal for this time of
year so think small and subtle
presentations.
Typical steelhead tactics
apply such as bobber and
jig/bait, or casting spoons or
spinners.
Cutthroat trout are now also
open to harvest and can be
found throughout the main
stem river and many large trib-
utaries.
WILSON RIVER: Steelhead,
Chinook, cutthroat
Spring Chinook fishing is
slow in the low clear water.
Summer steelhead fishing is
slow also. Fishing for cutthroat
trout should be fair. Use
lighter gear for best results as
the water is extremely low and
clear.
Millicoma Pond to make sure
the gates are open. The phone
number is 541-267-2557.
Fishing for largemouth bass
and bluegills have been good
in many of the Coos County
lakes. Fishing for bass will be
best in the mornings and late
evenings.
Fish for bluegills around
structure like submerged logs
and weedlines.
reports of coho and chinook
being caught in the ocean off
of Winchester Bay.
PACIFIC OCEAN and
BEACHES: Bottomfish,
salmon, Dungeness crab, surf
perch
The ocean is open for har-
vest of Dungeness crab.
Crabbing has been good out-
side of Coos Bay and
Winchester Bay.
Anglers continue to catch
surf perch from the beaches
near Winchester, Bandon and
Coos Bay but catch rates have
slowed down. The best fishing
is usually on the incoming
tide. Sand shrimp is one of the
best baits to use when fishing
for surf perch.
Recreational ocean salmon
season from Cape Falcon to
Humbug Mt. is open for chi-
nook salmon and fin-clipped
coho. The bag limit is two
salmon per day, and a mini-
mum size for Chinook salmon
at 24 inches or larger and a
minimum size for coho salmon
at 16 inches or larger.
Fishing for chinook has
picked up along the south
coast and anglers are reporting
catching lots of coho.
The nearshore halibut sea-
son opened July 1. The fishery
is open seven days a week
inside the 40-fathom line.
Fishing for bottom fish is
restricted to inside the 30 fath-
om curve.
Fishing for black rockfish
continues to be good from
Charleston to Bandon.
Salmon: Adipose fin-
clipped coho salmon seasons
are now open in ocean waters
along the entire Oregon Coast.
Best catches have been in
the waters off the Columbia
River.
Ocean recreational fishing is
open for Chinook salmon
along the entire Oregon coast.
C RABBING : Ocean crabbing
is great, and bay crabbing con-
tinues to improve. Larger
ocean crab off the central coast
are molting, and a soft shell
indicates the meat will be
watery.
Smaller crab that have not
yet molted — look for barna-
cles on the shell — are a better
option for the crab kettle.
YAQUINA RIVER:
Cutthroat trout
Cutthroat trout fishing is
slow to fair. The best opportu-
nities are coming in the early
mornings when river tempera-
tures are the coolest. River
conditions are very low and
warm for this time of year.
The mainstem Yaquina and
Big Elk Creek are good places
to try casting small spinners or
spoons as well as bait fishing
near the head of tide.
TENMILE BASIN: Trout,
largemouth bass, yellow perch
Streams in the Tenmile
Basin are open for trout fish-
ing.
Fishing is restricted to artifi-
cial flies and lures in streams
above tidewater.
Anglers should have good
success catching trout in the
deeper pools and riffles using
spinners or flies.
The water level in Tenmile
Lakes is extremely low and
boat anglers should use cau-
tion when boating in the lakes.
Tenmile Lakes is open all
year for trout but trout fishing
has been slow.
Bass anglers have been
catching several largemouth
bass in Tenmile Lakes. Bass
can be found this time of the
year in shallow water near
structure like logs or weed
lines.
A few anglers have been
catching yellow perch from the
fishing dock at the County
Boat Ramp and near the edge
of the weedlines.
A worm or piece of cut bait
fished near the bottom works
well for catching yellow perch.

mouth bass, bluegills
Trout are still available for
kids in the Millicoma Pond at
the Millicoma Interpretive
Center and fishing is excellent.

chance for them to hook into
fish.
Call before traveling to
COOS RIVER BASIN:
Dungeness crab, bay clams,
rockfish, trout
Streams in the Coos Basin
are open although most of the
larger rivers will be too warm
for trout. Trout anglers should
focus on small streams and
fish early in the morning or in
the evening.
Angling is restricted to arti-
ficial flies and lures in streams
above tidewater. Anglers
should have good success
catching trout in the deeper
pools and riffles using spinners
or flies.
