TILLAMOOK BAY: chinook, sturgeon
Fall chinook are still available throughout the bay. Anglers should concentrate their efforts on sturgeon angling, as the best fishing is usually in the winter. Sand shrimp fished on the bottom in the deeper channels will produce the best results.

TRASK RIVER: chinook, steelhead
Fall chinook angling has been fair recently. Many of the fall chinook are dark and should be released. Bobber and bait, backbouncing, and backtrolling large plugs will all produce some fish once the river clears. An occasional winter steelhead is being caught also.
Johnson Bridge is being replaced. Boaters should use extreme caution when approaching the bridge site. Passage at the work site will be provided. The road shoulder has been widened at the Cedar Creek boat launch, which will allow vehicles to pull off the road while launching. Anglers should use caution to avoid disturbing fresh fill in the area. Plans are in the works to construct a new boat slide at the site in the near future. Please do not block boat launching at this site. Contact ODFW in Tillamook for details, 503-842-2741.

YAQUINA RIVER: chinook salmon, winter steelhead
Fall chinook salmon fishing is slow. Most fish are dark and have moved up into the spawning areas. Hatchery winter steelhead typically start to return anytime now. Best opportunities are fishing Big Elk Creek where public access is best in the upper river. The next good rain should bring in fish.

COOS RIVER BASIN: Dungeness crab
Crabbing in Coos Bay is still good. There are numerous Dungeness crabs just under the legal size limit. Many boats are coming back with limits or near limits of Dungeness crab. The best area is near the North Jetty inside the bay. Crabbing from the Charleston docks in Coos Bay has also produced legal Dungeness crabs. The best crabbing docks have been the B/C and D/E docks in Charleston. The best baits for crabbing are fish, chicken or turkey legs. The best time to crab is two hours before high tide through two hours after. http://www.dfw.state.or.us/RR/index.asp
