The Siuslaw River and bay is open for Chinook salmon. Fishing is slow. Fish are throughout the bay and river. With the recent rain the river was high but has come into shape. Trolling herring in the lower bay is an effective technique. Eggs and bobber can be productive in the upper bay and river as the season progresses.

For cutthroat trout, casting small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effective.
