Fall Chinook fishing has been fair on the Salmon River. The forecasted rain and cooler weather this week will stir things up and have fish pushing into the upper estuary headed for the hatchery.

***Reminder*** There is no wild coho retention in the Salmon River for the 2021 season. Please practice good catch-and-release for wild coho, keep them in the water and release immediately.

Trout fishing in streams remains open through Oct. 31. Check the regulations for open areas and bait restrictions.
