Fishing
from 1B
Water temps are great and
fish should be hungry, so go
catch them.
SIUSLAW RIVER: Chinook,
trout
Fishing is starting to pick up
in the bay. There should be
some nice cutthroat around.
Remember the limit on
streams and rivers is two per
day over 8-inches.
ALSEA RIVER: Chinook,
trout
Fall Chinook is open and
fishing is starting to pick up in
the bay. Trout season continues
as well and there should be
some nice cutthroat around.
Remember the limit on
streams and rivers is two per
day over 8-inches.
SALMON RIVER: Chinook,
trout
Fall Chinook season is open
and fishing is starting to pick
up in the estuary. Trout season
c and there should be some
nice cutthroat around.
Remember the limit on
streams and rivers is two per
day over 8-inches.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
Chinook, trout
The Siletz River is open for
fall Chinook and fishing is
starting to pick up in the bay.
Spring Chinook and summer
steelhead are being caught, and
fishing should continue to
improve.
Recycling hatchery summer
steelhead from the Siletz Falls
trap has ended for the season.
Casting spinners, drifting bait
or using a bobber and jig can

be effective.
There should be some nice
cutthroat around. 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.
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. Remember, the
limit on streams and rivers is
two per day over 8-inches.

jetties and submerged rock
piles. The marine fish daily

• B OTTOM F ISHING
Bottomfish fishing contin-
ues to be good out of most
ports along the Oregon coast,
when the winds have cooperat-
ed. Angler success for rockfish
remained about the same as
the last few weeks.
Lingcod fishing is a little
sporadic: excellent some days,
but very slow other days.
Anglers from the south
coast have had better success
with lingcod this past week.
Remember to know and
understand the new bag limits.
SHELFISH:
• M USSELS
Mussels remain closed from
Tillamook Head (just north of
Cannon Beach) to Cascade
Head (just north of Lincoln
City) due to high levels of
Paralytic Shellfish Toxins.
Rock jetty structures at
nearly every port in Oregon
support harvestable popula-
tions of mussels.
