: SALMON RIVER: 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 or drifting eggs 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. Reported by: Oregon D.F.W |

About the
Salmon River: One of two Salmon Rivers in the State of Oregon, this short
coastal river is known for strong hatchery runs of fall chinook salmon. The
hatchery is located only 4 miles from the mouth of the river so most people
angle in a rather short stretch of the river. Downstream of the Hwy 101 bridge
the Cascade Head National Scenic Area provides good public access for bank
anglers. Boaters can put in at the ramp at the end of Three Rocks Road. Most
people fish for salmon and steelhead in the fall and winter. Driving Directions: The Salmon River is paralleled by Hwy 18 for much of its length and crossed by Hwy 101 near its mouth Campgrounds: There are no campgrounds along the Salmon River, however, Devils Lake State Park located a few miles south along Hwy 101 at Lincoln City has 100 tent/trailer sites, water, flush toilets, and showers. |
