Fall Chinook fishing remains fair in Tillamook Bay with fish being caught consistently throughout the bay and tidewater. Fish have pushed into upper tidewater areas and fresh fish are still coming in. Tillamook Bay and the rivers that empty into it have reduced bag limits for wild fall Chinook this year. The limit for wild adults is 1/day and 2/ season as part of the daily salmon and steelhead bag limit. Check the regulation updates online for more details.

Tillamook Bay is open for wild coho three days a week (Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays) through October 26th. The bag limit is 1 wild adult coho per day and 3 for the season as part of the daily salmon/steelhead bag limit. See regulation updates online for more details. Coho fishing remained good last week but slowed a little on Sunday, there are still fresh fish coming in so fishing should pick back up. There is also a hatchery coho release on the Trask River and those fish should be coming into the bay and the lower river.

Sea-run cutthroat trout fishing in the bay and tidewaters is slow as most fish have moved upstream into the rivers, but there is still some opportunity.
