Trout fishing in streams is now closed until May 22, 2017.

Steelhead anglers have reported catching a few steelhead in the North Fork Coquille at LaVerne Park. A few steelhead have been caught on the South Fork Coquille River but overall fishing has been slow.

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.
