Streams and rivers are open to trout fishing through Oct. 31. Trout fishing in streams and rivers is slow to due to low water conditions. Trout anglers can now use bait in all streams when fishing for trout in all streams that are open to fishing. The daily limit for trout in streams is 2 fish per day and they must be 8-inches or longer.

The two-rod validation for fishing for salmon in Coos Bay ends on Sept. 30. Salmon fishing continues to be slow but anglers have caught some Chinook salmon from the BLM boat ramp up to the head of tide. The majority of the salmon caught this week were jacks with a few adults mixed in. Bank anglers are starting to have success at the mouth of Daniels Creek, upper Isthmus Slough, Coos Bay boardwalk, and Pony Slough. Boat salmon anglers have been catching and releasing wild coho near the airport. There is no retention of wild coho in Coos Bay this season.

Recreational fishing for bottomfish is open in the ocean along with bays and estuaries. The daily bag limit for marine fish is back to 5 plus 2 lingcod. The retention of cabezon is no longer allowed for the rest of the year. Fishing for rockfish and greenling inside Coos Bay near the north jetty and other submerged rock structures has been spotty this past week with good fishing one day and poor fishing the next.
