Tillamook Bay is getting going for fall Chinook. There are salmon present in both the lower and upper bay, overall fishing is slow but there are fish being caught daily. Fishing should continue to improve throughout the rest of the month and October. The adult wild Chinook daily bag limit for all Tillamook Rivers (Tillamook River and Bay, Kilchis River, Miami River, Wison River, and Trask River) is one fish in aggregate. No more than two adult wild Chinook salmon may be retained for the period in aggregate. See the regulation updates for more details.
Coho salmon are also starting showing up in the bay this month. So, far fishing has been slow but should continue to improve. There is a hatchery coho release on the Trask River and those fish usually stack up in the bay early season waiting for rain to go up the river. In addition, the wild coho fishery opened in Tillamook Bayon Saturday, Sept. 7. Tillamook Bay is open to retention of 1 adult wild coho perday and 2 per season on WEDNESDAYS and SATURDAYS only, from Sept. 7 to Oct. 23. See the regulation updates online for more details.
Sea-run cutthroat trout fishing has slowed in tidewater, but there are still some around.
