The Salmon River and bay is open for Chinook salmon Aug. 1 – Dec. 31. Fishing is fair and improving as more fish enter the bay. Trolling herring in the lower bay is an effective technique. Eggs and bobber can be productive in the upper bay and river as the season progresses. Parking can be limited at Knight Park during the fall salmon return. Anglers are reminded that from Knight Park boat ramp to Sulphur Creek from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31, angling is restricted to single point hook metal lures, fly angling, or salmon bobber angling.
