Fishing
from 1B
ALSEA RIVER: Cutthroat
trout
Fall Chinook fishing on the
Alsea river/bay remain open. A
few fish are being caught but
overall the fishing has been
slow
Concentrate your efforts low
in the estuary and close to the
ocean to catch the fish moving
in and out on the tides. Expect
numbers of fall Chinook enter-
ing the bays and estuaries to
increase later in the month and
into October. Best techniques
include trolling herring/spin-
ners and bobber fishing with
bait.
Sea-run cutthroat will begin
entering the lower river later
this month and into the fall.
These fish are very aggressive,
respond well to flies and lures,
and can be up to 20-inches
long.
SALMON RIVER: Cutthroat
trout, fall Chinook
Fall Chinook fishing on the
Salmon river/bay opened Aug.
1, expect numbers of fall
Chinook entering the bays and
estuaries to increase later in the
month and into September.
Best techniques include trolling
herring/spinners and bobber
fishing with bait.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
cutthroat trout, fall Chinook
Fall Chinook fishing on the
Siletz river/bay opened Aug. 1,
a few fish are being caught but
it has been slow. Expect num-
bers of fall Chinook entering
the bays and estuaries to
increase later in the month
and into September. Best tech-
niques include trolling her-
ring/spinners and bobber fish-
ing with bait.
• Note: Salmon fishing in
the Siletz river is closed above
the marker sign approximately
1,200 feet above Ojalla bridge
until Oct. 7.
Summer steelhead are in the
river. Fishing has begun to
slow down as stream flows
decrease and water tempera-
tures increase in the gorge.
Early mornings or late eve-
nings provide the best oppor-
tunity to catch these fish. The
fishing will improve when we
get some cooler weather or a
little bit of rain to “stir” things
up a bit.
Casting spinners, drifting
bait or using a bobber and jig
can be effective.
Sea-run cutthroat will begin
entering the lower river later
this month and into the fall.
These fish are very aggressive,
respond well to flies and lures,
and can be up to 20-inches
long.
Trout fishing is open in
streams and river.
• Note: The 3.5-mile bridge
(aka Steel Bridge) in the Siletz
gorge is open to motorized
vehicles but is only open to
public vehicles on the week-
end. Anglers can walk/bike in
the road during the weekdays.
If anglers do walk in they can
park at the one-mile gate and
start from there.
WILSON
RIVER:
Steelhead, trout
Summer steelhead are pres-
#6 crab dock and the end of
South Jetty Road at the jetty
will be closed to vehicles while
workers remove sand and
repair road surfaces.
Visitors can park at the
South Jetty #7 parking area
and access the crab dock and
beach by foot. Heavy equip-
ment will also be repairing
OHV trail access near
Goosepasture Staging Area
and may have that portion of
South Jetty Road limited to
one lane with flaggers while
this work is completed.
Heavy equipment work will
also take place on the dunes
between Siltcoos and South
Jetty, including repairs to
Incinerator and Coast Guard
OHV trails, clearing sand
from OHV access points and
clearing encroaching vegeta-
tion from sand camps and
other areas for safety and visi-
bility.
Hazard trees will be
removed in Carter Lake,
Waxmyrtle and Lagoon
Campgrounds. This is a
unique opportunity for
Marines to train with heavy
equipment in partnership with
the Forest Service.

sures and delays, please con-

ent, but it looks like numbers
are down a little this year. There
are steelhead sporadically
throughout the system. Low
clear water and warm water
temperatures can make fishing
for summer steelhead challeng-
ing, but there can be some good
action.
Drift fishing, spinners, and
flies are good choices. Light
line, small presentations, and
fishing the riffles and deep
pools at first and last light can
increase success.
Warm water temperatures
can stress fish and increase
hooking mortality, so anglers
are encouraged to avoid catch-
and-release fishing during the
heat of the day.
Sea run cutthroat are in the
tidewater areas and beginning
to move upstream. We’ve had
reports of the fishing for them
being good this summer.
Spinners or flies are good bets
for success.
YAQUINA
RIVER:
Cutthroat trout, fall Chinook
Fall Chinook fishing on the
Yaquina river/bay opened Aug.
1, fishing has been slow so far.
Expect numbers of fall Chinook
entering the bays and estuaries
to increase later in the month
and into September. Best tech-
niques include trolling herring/
spinners and bobber fishing
with bait.
Sea-run cutthroat will begin
entering the lower river later
this month and into the fall.
These fish are very aggressive,
respond well to flies and lures,
and can be up to 20-inches long
Trout fishing is open in
streams and river. Fishing is
restricted to artificial flies and
lures, May 22- Aug 31.
COOS RIVER BASIN:
Dungeness crab, bay clams,
rockfish, trout, salmon
Streams and rivers are open
to trout fishing. Trout fishing in
streams and rivers is slow to
due to low water conditions.
Anglers can use only artificial
flies and lures in streams above
tidewater. The daily limit for
trout in streams is 2 fish per day
and they must be 8-inches or
longer.
Through Sept. 30, salmon
anglers with a two-rod valida-
tion will be able to use rods
while fishing for Chinook
salmon and hatchery Coho
salmon in Coos Bay.
Recreational fishing for bot-
tomfish is open in the ocean
along with bays and estuaries.
The daily bag limit for
marine fish is 4, plus 2 lingcod.
