Fall Chinook is open on the Yaquina! Like its neighbors the fishery is off to a slower start this early in the season. Overall, for both coho and Chinook its been a slow start to the season, with not many fish being caught. Your best bet in the Yaquina is lower in the bay and tidewater this time of year and like its neighbor's early season trolling is often the best technique. There aren't many bank angling spots on the lower Yaquina but there are a few spots near the water tank.
Yaquina wild coho retention will close this Friday October 10th for a few weeks before it reopens in November. If you are fishing for salmon, this weekend you will not be able to retain a wild coho in the Yaquina!
Coastal Cutthroat will be distributed throughout the Yaquina basin and should be really pushing into the system this time of year. Yaquina Bay offers additional opportunity for crabbing, clamming, and near shore marine fishing off the jetties. Though it may be slower for freshwater fisheries this time of year! Anglers are reminded to check the regulations for use of bait and whether there are closed streams.
