SALMON RIVER : Fall chinook angling has been fair. A few fish have passed the hatchery. Coho angling is slow.
SILETZ RIVER : Summer steelhead angling is good. Anglers are reminded that there is no retention of non-fin-clipped steelhead. Good numbers of summer steelhead have been recycled to Moonshine Park near Logsden. Recycled summer steelhead will be tagged with colored floy tags. ODFW would like anglers who catch tagged summer steelhead to call Casey Deckard or Derek Wilson at 541-867-4741 to report the color of the tag, date caught and location. Fall chinook fishing is fair to good. Some fish have moved up river.
SUISLAW RIVER : Fall chinook angling is fair to good in the bay. Some fish have moved into the Siuslaw River and Lake Creek.
TILLAMOOK AREA LAKES : Angling for bass should be good in Cape Meares and Lytle lakes. Trout stocking is complete for this year. Cape Meares Lake and Town Lake have been stocked.
TILLAMOOK BAY : Angling for fall chinook is improving. Chinook are being caught throughout the bay and tidewaters. Angling for adipose fin-clipped coho salmon is fair. Many coho have moved through the bay already. Angling for sturgeon has been slow. Best fishing will be in upper tidewater areas, such as the Tillamook River tidewater.
