Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, trout Summer steelhead fishing on the Wilson has been moder- ate to slow, but there are fish throughout the system. Late August and September can be a great time to target these fish as cooler nights lower water temps, and fish that have been holding get more active. Target riffles and the top of pools during first and last light, and concentrate on deep- er holding pools once the sun is on the water. Fishing stealthy, with light gear, and targeting first and last light is often the key to success with these fish. The Wilson doesn’t open for fall Chinook above tide water (Hwy 101 bridge) until Sept. 16. Trout is also season open and there should be some nice cutthroat around. Remember, the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8 inches. YAQUINA RIVER: Chinook, trout Trout is season open and there should be some nice cut- throat around.
