Salmon Showing in Coastal Estuaries

Fall Salmon are starting to nose their way upriver and are moving in and out of numerous estuaries along the Oregon Coast. On the Southcoast, the lower Rogue, Winchester Bay & the lower Umpqua, Charelston & Coos Bay and the lower Coquille near Bandon are all seeing the arrival of our Fall Chinook and also some Coho. Meanwhile crabbing has been very good on certain tides at Winchester Bay and on the lower Coquille and excellent at Charleston, particularly on days with little to no wind.
