Salmon fishing on Tillamook Bay may slow a little this week as fish that have been holding in the bay move into the rivers following the recent rains. On the other hand, that same rain may bring some more fresh fish into the bay.

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.

The wild coho fishery CLOSED on Oct. 23. NO retention of wild coho is allowed the remainder of the year in Tillamook Bay. There is a hatchery coho run in Tillamook Bay, bound for the Trask River, and retention of hatchery coho is still allowed as part of the daily salmon bag limit.

Cutthroat trout fishing closed in the North Coast rivers and streams on Nov. 1.
