Fall Chinook is back open on the Siuslaw, and like our other Mid coast basins, it's still early. But fish have been moving into the basin fast. Lots of folks have been catching some decent size bright fish. ‌

The Siuslaw has different regulations for fall Chinook bag limits than the other Mid Coast basins due to a below average forecast. So be sure to check the regulation updates before heading out. We have had a decent amount of reported fish being caught tidewater and below. ‌

Coho fishing will also open this Friday for wild coho in the Siuslaw Basin on Friday Sept. 15, 2023. Check out the regulations before you head out this weekend. ‌

Like the rest of the Mid Coast basins, trout fishing is open. With the warmer temperatures and the water being low and clear in the basin, check out trout in the Siuslaw this weekend.
