Fishing
from 1B
above the head of tide but
small spinners, spoons and fly
fishing can be very productive.
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.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
cutthroat trout
Summer steelhead fishing is
fair in the upper river. Low
flows and warming river tem-
peratures are making new fish
race up into the cooler holding
waters of the gorge area. New
fish will continually be mov-
ing into the river through the
summer with peak numbers
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
Summer steelhead fishing is
slow. Fishing for cutthroat
trout should be fair. Use
lighter gear for best results as
the water is extremely low and
clear. Spring Chinook fishing
closed July 31. All angling is
closed after 2 p.m. above tide-
water until further notice.
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.
UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH:
Steelhead
The South Umpqua River,
including all tributaries, is
closed to fishing for trout,
steelhead, and salmon from 2
p.m. until an hour before sun-
rise. The mainstem South
Umpqua upstream to Jackson
Creek Bridge opened to fish-
ing on May 23, with trout fish-
ing being strictly catch and
release. Catch and release
trout fishing in South Umpqua
tributaries below Jackson
Creek Bridge also opened on
May 23, with fishing restricted
to the use of artificial flies and
lures.
Smallmouth bass fishing,
which remains open under
normal rules, should be pro-
ductive especially in the morn-
ing and late afternoon/early
evening.
COOS COUNTY
LAKES/PONDS: Largemouth
bass, bluegills
Fishing for largemouth bass
and bluegills has 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 sub-
merged logs and weed lines.
TENMILE BASIN: Trout,
largemouth bass, yellow perch
Streams in the Tenmile
Basin are open for trout
although there is a 2 p.m. fish-
ing closure for trout, salmon,
and steelhead in streams above
tidewater. Most of the larger
rivers will be too warm for
trout and the water level in
many of the smaller streams is
extremely low. Fishing is
restricted to artificial flies and
lures in streams above tidewa-
ter.
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.
WINCHESTER BAY:
Bottomfish, perch
Fishing for bottomfish in
the Triangle and South jetty
has been successful. Perch
fishing has been productive in
the bay, and it was reported
that good size striped perch
were being caught along the
jetty.
Crabbing has been improv-
ing, and there have been
reports of coho and Chinook
being caught in the ocean off
of Winchester Bay.
few halibut near Bandon
inside 40-fathoms this past
weekend. As of Aug. 2, 72
percent of the nearshore hal-
ibut quota remains. The sum-
mer all-depth halibut season
opened this past weekend and
will be open every other
Friday-Saturday until the
quota of 43,908 pounds is met.
Fishing for bottom fish is
restricted to inside the 30-fath-
om curve.
• SALMON
Much of the Oregon coast
(Cape Falcon to the OR/CA
border) is now closed to coho
salmon fishing. This area
remains open for all salmon
except coho, but Chinook fish-
ing has been only fair out of
most ports. Remaining coho
quota will be transferred to the
non-selective coho salmon
season that opens Friday, from
Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt.
salmon, Dungeness crab, tuna
The ocean is open for har-
vest of Dungeness crab and
it’s been good outside of Coos
Bay and Winchester Bay.
Recreational ocean salmon
season from Cape Falcon to
Humbug Mt. is open for
Chinook salmon. The fin-
clipped coho season closed on
Aug. 9 and the non-selective
coho season does not open
until Friday. The bag limit is
two salmon per day, and a
minimum size for Chinook
salmon at 24-inches or larger.
Fishing for Chinook from
Bandon to Winchester Bay has
been slow.
Tuna fishing along the south
coast was spotty. Some boats
did very well with most fish
caught 20-30 miles off shore.
The nearshore halibut sea-
son opened on July 1. The
fishery is open seven days per
week inside the 40-fathom
line. Anglers were catching a
87994 Wood Lake Way N – Privacy in Heceta
South. Custom home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac on
large .70 acre lot. Master suite downstairs with 2
bdrms plus hobby room upstairs. $349,900.
