Temporary wild fall Chinook regulations are in effect starting Aug. 1 for salmon anglers fishing in the Coquille Basin. The entire Coquille Basin is closed to retention of adult wild Chinook Aug 1 – Dec 31. Anglers may harvest hatchery Chinook but must fish downstream of Hwy 101 bridge or can angle from the bank in Randolph Slough between sign markers located at the West and East ends of the slough. 

Steelhead anglers should start fishing near the town of Coquille.  Anglers fishing this part of the river have the best luck plunking with Spin-glos along with eggs or shrimp.

Trout fishing in streams and rivers is now closed until next spring
