Coos River salmon recap

Each September we switch gears from the ocean out of the Port of Brookings to the Coos River and Coos Bay about 100 miles north of Brookings.
The Coos is often home to the best salmon fishing in all of Oregon in September. The river and bay are thriving with king salmon and coho salmon, and each angler typically catches multiple fish. This is a great fishery for putting salmon in the freezer for the winter.
The season also is very popular with anglers who like calm, protected water, We generally fish the upper part of the bay. There are no swells or large waves. We troll plug-cut herring and troll with the tide. The bites are aggressive. The salmon are in prime shape.

We are beginning to take bookings for next September on the Coos. Email me at wildriversfishing@yahoo.com or call (541) 813-1082 or (206) 388-8988 if you want to get in on the action next year.

Here are some of the photos from the fall 2015 season on the Coos.
