This is a good time of year to start looking around the mouth of the river for the first Chinook to start showing up. The best way to access the mouth of the river is through Cape Blanco State Park. Anglers will want to check the marine forecast as mouth of the river is affected by surf and tides. Anglers can only retain hatchery Chinook in the river.
