Fishing
from 1B
Two rods are prohibited on
all coastal rivers, tidewater,
estuaries and bays.
SALMON RIVER: Chinook,
trout
Fall Chinook fishing is start-
ing to pick up in the estuary
and upriver to the hatchery.
Trout season continues and
there should be some nice cut-
throat around. Remember the
limit on streams and rivers is
two per day over 8-inches.
Anglers are reminded the
two-rod validation is only
valid while angling in standing
water bodies excluding coastal
lakes with wild coho seasons.

SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
Chinook, trout
The Siletz River remains
open for fall Chinook and fish-
ing is starting to pick up in
tidewater.
Anglers are reminded the
two-rod validation is only
valid while angling in standing
water bodies excluding coastal
lakes with wild coho seasons.
Two rods are prohibited on all
coastal rivers, tidewater, estu-
aries and bays.
Trout remains open and
there should be some nice cut-
throat around. Remember the
limit on streams and rivers is
two per day over 8-inches.
WILSON RIVER: Chinook,
steelhead, trout
Fall Chinook fishing opened
on the Wilson River Sept. 16.
With the recent rains, there are
probably a few fish sneaking
in. Bobber fishing bait, back-
bouncing, back-trolling plugs
or divers and bait, or casting
spinners can all be effective
methods.
Anglers are reminded the
Wilson River is closed to
salmon angling until Dec. 31,
upstream of Jordan Creek
(River Mile 21.9).
Summer steelhead fishing
on the Wilson has been moder-
ate to slow, but there are good
numbers of fish throughout the
system.
Late 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 dur-
ing first and last light, and
concentrate on deeper 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.
Trout season continues with
some cutthroat around, but
fishing for them in the
Wilson’s clear summer flows
can be tough. Remember, the
limit on streams and rivers is
two per day over 8 inches.
YAQUINA RIVER: Chinook,
trout
Chinook is open and with
the rain early this week fishing
is starting to pick up in tidewa-
ter. Trout season opened May
22, and there should be some
nice cutthroat around.
Remember, the limit on
streams and rivers is two per
day over 8-inches.
Anglers are reminded the
two-rod validation is only
valid while angling in standing
water bodies excluding coastal
lakes with wild coho seasons.
Two rods are prohibited on all
coastal rivers, tidewater, estu-
aries and bays.
Anglers are allowed to use bait
in streams above tidewater.
Anglers may harvest two
trout per day that are a mini-
mum of 8 inches long.
Anglers were catching
Chinook salmon from the
BLM boat ramp in the lower
estuary up through the Coos
River and South Fork Coos
River. The bite was best a cou-
ple hours before the slack
tides.
A few wild coho have been
caught lately. There is not a
wild coho season inside Coos
Bay this year so all wild coho
must be released but anglers
may keep an adipose fin-
clipped hatchery coho.
Salmon anglers are having
the best luck trolling cut plug
herring behind a flasher.
As of Sept. 18, fishing for
lingcod, rockfish, cabezon,
greenling or other bottomfish
are closed because the quotas
for several species have been
reached.
This includes the ocean
along with bays and estuaries.
COOS COUNTY LAKES
PONDS: Warmwater fish,
AND
trout
Largemouth bass fishing has
been good in many of the area
smaller lakes. Bluegills can be
found in area lakes right along
the weed lines.
Rainbow trout are scheduled
to be stocked in P OWERS
P OND , B RADLEY L AKE ,
B UTTERFIELD L AKE , E MPIRE
L AKES , and S AUNDERS L AKE
during the month of October.
COOS RIVER BASIN:
Dungeness crab, bay clams,
rockfish, salmon
Streams and rivers are open
to trout fishing until Oct. 31.
Crabbing continues to be
good for those crabbing from a
boat and from the docks in
Charleston. Crabbing has been
best near Charleston but legal
crab can be caught all the way
up the bay to the BLM boat
ramp off of the North Spit.
There was a mixture of hard
and soft shelled legal
Dungeness crab.
Recreational harvest of bay
clams remains open along the
entire Oregon coast. Clamming
is excellent during low tides
near Charleston, off Cape
Arago Highway, and Clam
Island.
There are also good places
to dig clams even on positive
low tides in Coos Bay.
The recreational harvest of
razor clams is CLOSED from
Cascade Head to the California
Border for elevated levels of
domoic acid. This includes all
beaches and all bays.
COQUILLE RIVER BASIN:
Crab, trout, smallmouth bass,
salmon
Streams and rivers are now
open to trout fishing until Oct.
31. Anglers are allowed to use
bait in streams above tidewa-
ter.
Anglers may harvest 2 trout
per day that are a minimum of
8 inches long.
Chinook salmon are being
caught throughout the Coquille
River. Most anglers are fishing
the lower river from Riverton
to the jetties. Salmon anglers
are having the best luck
trolling cut plug herring
behind a flasher.
There is no wild coho sea-
son in the Coquille River.
