UMPQUA RIVER, MAINSTEM:
The river remains open for hatchery Chinook and one adult wild chinook a day and five adult wild Chinook for the year from July 1 – Nov. 30. Catch rates have picked up and anglers seem to be doing well with coho.
Wild coho is open Sept. 14 – Oct. 15. Only one wild adult coho per day and 3 for the season. One wild jack per day during the period. Wild coho may not be retained above the Scottsburg Bridge.
UMPQUA RIVER, NORTH:
Fishing for all Chinook on the North closed July 1. Summer steelhead numbers are around the 10-year average, but very few hatchery fish have returned this year. Anglers will begin targeting steelhead with cooler temperatures and some rain.
UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH:
The South is closed to all fishing Sept. 16 to Nov. 30.
