Over the past few years Salmon runs have been coming back in Oregon and the permit times have been extended. Salmon fishing in Oregon is one of the most exciting adventures of anywhere in the world. Many salmon fishers stand on the shore, or wade in the water, in many of the shallower brooks and streams. For bigger catches, having your own boat can make a big difference and some folks prefer to pay someone else to drive and head out for deep sea fishing day trips.
Salmon is the most popular fish in Oregon, though steelhead is a close second for many anglers. Lots of local streams have hatchery winter steelhead that can be caught from November through January. For the early season, the North Fork Nehalem River is one of the better streams.
It is interesting that some steelhead hatchery fish wander up the Trask river, even though they were not planted there. The Wilson river and Nestucca river have many hatchery planting spots and their runs tend to extend through early Spring. Wild steelhead are also available in most coastal rivers with runs reaching their peak in mid March.
Anglers should contact the local ODFW office in Tillamook at 503-842-2741 for more information on fishing techniques, locations and updated fishing conditions. Recorded fishing information for the North Fork Nehalem is available at 503-368-5670. Tillamook County has instituted a fee system at county-owned or operated boat launch sites. Daily fee envelopes are available at access sites. Contact Tillamook County Parks (503-322-3477) for more information or to purchase an annual pass.
Fishing and crabbing in Oregon are one of the biggest attractions for outdoor enthusiasts. For more passive nature experiences, walks on the beach, nature trails and shopping opportunities are plentiful. For a nice drive down the Oregon coast, north to south tends to be the best route.
When traveling the Oregon Coast, if at all possible, travel from north to south. Most of the spectacular views have turn outs that will be on the coast side of the road, so traveling south enables you to simply pull over the the right and then continue without having to cross traffic. Think simple, quick, southbound!
Fall Chinook salmon typically have a season starting in early August and ending in late November. Spring Chinook salmon can be fished from mid-May through July. While Steelhead and Sturgeon may often have open fishing all year, winter seems to be the abundant runs, though late summer steelhead can often occur in great quantities. Before planning your fishing trip, be clear on exact dates by checking the latest updates from the Oregon fish and wild life department.
Many children love fishing and others will whine and complain the entire trip and ruin the experience for everyone. Before setting out on your family Oregon fishing trip, be sure to understand the temperament of your children. Before deep sea fishing, especially, be sure that everyone in your party take Dramamine.
