Fish Report for 9-13-2023
Fall Chinook is open on the Yaquina
9-13-2023
OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff
Fall Chinook is open on the Yaquina. It,s been a particularly slow start on the Yaquina with not as many fish being caught in the basin compared to our other Mid Coast Basins. We are however starting to see an increasing number of fish coming in and being caught as we progress further into the season.
The tides have been affecting the fishery a great deal by pushing lots of weeds into tide water and bogging down bait and flashers and motors. If you're out on the Yaquina this weekend be mindful of the weeds.
Coho fishing will also open this Friday for wild coho in the Yaquina Basin on Friday September 15, 2023. Check out the regulations before you head out this weekend
