Tillamook Bay is getting going for fall Chinook. There are salmon present in both the lower and upper bay in small numbers, and more should be on the way especially with some rain falling this week. The adult wild Chinook daily bag limit for all Tillamook Rivers (Tillamook River and Bay, Kilchis River, Miami River, Wison River, and Trask River) is one fish in aggregate. No more than two adult wild Chinook salmon may be retained for the period in aggregate. See the regulation updates for more details.
Coho salmon should also start showing up in the bay this month. So, far fishing has been slow but should continue to improve. There is a hatchery coho release on the Trask River and those fish usually stack up in the bay early season waiting for rain to go up the river. In addition, the wild coho fishery opens in Tillamook Bay this Saturday. Tillamook Bay is open to retention of 1 adult wild coho/day and 2/season on WEDNESDAYS and SATURDAYS only, from Sept. 7 to Oct. 23. See the regulation updates online for more details.
Sea-run cutthroat trout fishing has slowed in tidewater, probably indicating that fish are moving into the rivers, but there is still some opportunity.
