Fall Chinook fishing on the Yaquina river/bay has been slow but anglers are catching a few each day. Fishing will continue to improve as more fish continue to move into the estuary waiting for the fall rains. Best techniques include trolling herring/spinners and bobber fishing with bait.

All wild coho must be released during the 2018 fall salmon season.

Sea-run cutthroat will continue to enter the lower river later this month and into the fall. These fish are very aggressive, respond well to flies and lures, and can be up to 20-inches long.
