: SALMON RIVER: Winter steelhead fishing is fair to good in many coastal basins and the Salmon River typically follows this trend. As river flows continue to drop and clear this week, the mid to lower river should produce the best results. The river is open to harvest of wild winter steelhead (Jan 1 March 31). Anglers are advised to read the new regulations as there are harvest restrictions and new deadlines in effect. The deadline for steelhead fishing is at the confluence with Prairie Creek which enters the Salmon River west of the Van Duzer rest area at the same point as where Sulpher Creek enters the Salmon River.

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. |
