: SALMON RIVER: Fall chinook angling is slow to fair. Fish can be found from the lower bay up past the fish hatchery but most chinook are actively spawning during this time of year. Small numbers of fresh bright fish should continue to pulse in through the month of November. Anglers are also catching coho salmon but ONLY adipose fin-clipped coho may be retained. The cutthroat trout season is over for the year. 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.
