Fall Chinook is open on the Yaquina. It's been particularly slow on the Yaquina with not as many fish being caught in the basin compared to our other Mid Coast Basins. The slow bite on the Yaquina has gotten even slower the past few weeks and not many fish are being caught in the basin.‌

Overall, the bite has been slower on the Yaquina but there are still fish around higher up in the systems. ‌

Wild coho retention is now closed on the Yaquina
