Rain last week brought a few Chinook into the lower river. The river is still very low, so early morning or late evening are the best times to find Chinook willing to bite. This is the time of year where anglers should pay attention to the predicted stream flows to help plan when to fish. The estuary continues to kick out a few Chinook. As soon as flows pick up, the estuary fishery will be over, and most anglers will want to fish the river. The wild Chinook bag limit is 1 adult per day and 5 for the period of Sept. 1 to Dec. 31. Anglers should always check for updated regulations prior to fishing.

Anglers are reminded that there is a bobber rule in effect from Sept. 1 – Nov. 3 from River Mile 2.2 to Nook Creek.

Anglers that see a game violation can report the violation to *OSP (*677) on a mobile device or call 1-800-452-7888. Anglers can also file complaints or potential violations concerning guides to the Oregon State Marine Board.
