Trout fishing in streams is now closed until May 22, 2017.
The North Fork Coquille River has been low and clear. Fishing at LaVerne Park should improve after the next rain. Steelhead fishing on the South Fork Coquille River was good over the past weekend. Bank anglers have been plunking with Spin-n-Glos and bait near the town of Coquille. Anglers have had success drifting eggs or corkies. In the Coquille Basin 1 additional hatchery steelhead may be retained per day for a total aggregate of 3 adult fish harvested daily.
Recreational crabbing is now open in all Oregon waters. Crabbing is very slow in the lower Coquille River due to the large amounts of freshwater coming downstream.
