Chinook can be found

most productive.

The lower bay up to Coyote
Rock typically produces the
best results early in the season.
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. Fall Chinook angling in
tidewater will improve over
the coming weeks as more fish
arrive.
YAQUINA RIVER: Chinook,
coho, cutthroat trout
Anglers are having fair to
good results for fall Chinook
from the lower bay up to the
Canyon Quarry boat launch
area. Trolling herring or spin-
ners during the incoming tide
through the high slack typical-
ly produces the best results.
Small numbers of Chinook are
also up near Elk City.
The wild coho fishery is
open through Nov. 30 with a
daily bag limit of 1 adult coho
and seasonal limit of 2 adult
coho (in aggregate with other

Anglers are catching surf
