Trout fishing is open, so check out the cutthroat throughout the basin. Fish are moving and jumping throughout the basin, and sea-runs have started to pick up in the past two weeks and spread throughout the basin.
Fall Chinook is open on the Alsea, though it's still early in the season. You may be able to get a fish in the bay this early before they start to move back into the system to spawn. We've heard of the first few fish being caught in the bay and out towards the jaws this week. We have gotten a few additional reports of some nice-size chrome bright fish moving into the basin and being caught in the lower system!
