Fall Chinook fishing has been fair to good on the Yaquina River. Fishing has not been red hot but it has been steady for the last couple weeks. Some days are better than others but anglers are catching fish every day on each tide series. Mid-September through October are typically the best times to catch a Yaquina River Chinook.
Due to low forecasted fall Chinook returns, this year’s daily bag limit has been reduced to 1 wild Chinook per day and 5 per year for the mid-coast aggregate (Siletz River to Siuslaw River).
No wild coho retention for the 2019 season.
Trout fishing in streams is open until Oct. 31. This is a good time of year to fish for sea-run cutthroat trout in many of the coastal streams including the lower Yaquina and estuary. Check regulations for open areas and gear restrictions.
