Streams and rivers are open to trout fishing. Trout fishing in streams and rivers is slow to due to low water conditions. Anglers can use only artificial flies and lures in streams above tidewater. The daily limit for trout in streams is 2 fish per day and they must be 8-inches or longer. From Aug. 1 through Sept. 30 salmon anglers with a two-rod validation will be able to use rods while fishing for Chinook salmon and hatchery coho salmon in Coos Bay. Salmon anglers have been trolling from the BLM boat ramp up to California Street boat ramp. There have been a few Chinook salmon caught along with a few California halibut. The best fishing seems to be near the high tide. The peak Chinook salmon fishing will occur in late August and September.

Recreational fishing for bottomfish is open in the ocean along with bays and estuaries. The daily bag limit for marine fish is 4 plus 2 lingcod. The retention of cabezon started on July 1 with a 1-fish sub-bag limit. Fishing for rockfish and greenling inside Coos Bay near the north jetty and other submerged rock structures has been good lately.
