Idaho Fish Report

Streams and rivers are open to trout fishing. Trout anglers are having success using small spinners or flies. Anglers can use only artificial flies and lures in streams above tidewater, except the use of bait is allowed on the South Fork Coquille up to the Forest Service boundary upstream of Powers. The daily limit for trout in streams is 2 fish per day and they must be 8-inches or longer.

Smallmouth bass have started to bite in the mainstem Coquille River. Smallmouth are hitting on crankbaits, jigs and bait in the mainstem and South Fork Coquille river. There is no size limit or daily bag limit on the number of smallmouth bass you can keep in the Coquille River Basin.

Crabbing and clamming updates can now be found in the Crabbing and Clamming section of the Recreation Report.
