http://www.dfw.state.or.usStreams and rivers are now closed to trout fishing until May 22, 2018.
The steelhead rivers in the Coquille Basin are running high and muddy with the recent rain. There are still a lot of hatchery steelhead on the move early this week on the North Fork and South Fork Coquille rivers. The North Fork Coquille will be the first steelhead river in the basin to become fishable. Steelhead are being caught on yarn balls, eggs, and even spinners. In the Coquille Basin 1 additional hatchery steelhead may be retained per day for a total aggregate of 3 adult fish harvested daily.
Beginning Jan. 1, anglers will have the opportunity to harvest 1 wild steelhead per day, 3 for the season from the East Fork Coquille River. The open area for steelhead fishing in the East Fork remains the same as in past years. These regulations are listed in the 2018 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations booklet.
