: SALMON RIVER: The Salmon River is open for the cutthroat trout with anglers having fair to good success from tidewater through the mainstem. Use of bait is not allow above the head of tide but small spinners, spoons or fly fishing can be very productive. The river is also open to Chinook salmon and steelhead trout, although this time of year typically would only yield an occasional stray spring Chinook or summer steelhead from a nearby river basin.

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. |
