Chinook fishing has picked up in the lower river and anglers are catching some great looking fish. Fish will be moving over the next week, and anglers should have a good chance to get a Chinook. There have been no reports to indicate how far up they are, but some anglers have been spotted trying their luck above tidewater.
Remember, only 1 wild Chinook and 5 per season can be kept in aggregate between the Umpqua, Smith and North Fork Smith.
There is NO HARVEST OF WILD COHO in the mainstem Umpqua this year. Anglers have been catching and releasing many wild coho.
Until Sept. 30, 2023, fishing at the mouth of all Umpqua River tributaries is prohibited from Scottsburg Bridge upstream to River Forks boat ramp. Angling is prohibited within 200 feet from all portions of a tributary's mouth and the tributaries themselves from the mouth to 200 feet upstream.
