Fishing
from 1B
trap, this season. These fish get
fairly active in the lake and
offer a unique fishing experi-
ence.
Once in the lake they are
considered “trout” and do not
require a Combined Angling
Tag. Anglers are reminded,
however, that only one trout
per day over 20 inches may be
retained, and these fish will
almost all be in that size range.
Mid Coast lakes been
stocked with trout throughout
the spring. Trout stocking is
over until the fall but there still
should be fish around to catch.
Water temps are great and fish
should be hungry.

trout
Fall Chinook angling con-
tinues and fishing is picking
up in tidewater. Trout season
continues with 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.
Two rods are prohibited on
all coastal rivers, tidewater,
estuaries and bays.

ing to pick up in tidewater.

throat around. Remember the

SALMON RIVER: Chinook,
trout

ing to pick up in the estuary
and upriver to the hatchery.

there should be some nice cut-
throat around. Remember the
limit on streams and rivers is

ing is starting to pick up in

aries and bays.

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.
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.
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.
