Fall Chinook fishing on the Salmon river/bay opens Aug. 1, expect numbers of fall Chinook entering the bays and estuaries to increase later in the month and into September. Best techniques include trolling herring/spinners and bobber fishing with bait.

Summer steelhead are in the river. Fishing is fair to good in the gorge. Early mornings or late evenings provide the best opportunity to catch these fish. Casting spinners, drifting bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective.

Trout fishing is open in streams and rive.

*Note: The 3.5 mile bridge (aka Steel Bridge) in the Siletz gorge is open to motorized vehicles, but is only open to public vehicles on the weekend. Anglers can walk/bike in the road during the weekdays. If anglers do walk in they can park at the one mile gate and start from there.
