The Wilson River is open to fall Chinook fishing Aug. 1 to Nov. 30 by regulation (up to Jordan Creek). There are Chinook being caught in the tidewater and a few should be pushing into the lower river.
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.
ODFW is conducting a mark-recapture study on the Wilson basin this fall. Anglers are asked to keep an eye out for an Opercle punch (a small round hole in the gill cover) on Chinook that they catch, and if you see one, please let us know by calling (503) 842-2741 extension 18614. Thank you!
The Wilson gets a release of hatchery summer steelhead and those fish are throughout the river. Most fish are holding in the upper river and while it's been hard to entice them to bite, there are some being caught. As the fall brings cooler water temperatures these fish should get more active, and hopefully more willing to bite.
Trout fishing should be fair throughout the river through the end of the season on Oct 31st.
