Chinook fishing is open on the Yaquina. It is still a little early but expect fishing to improve over the next couple weeks. Similar to its neighbors, it will take some rain to improve fishing conditions over the next few weeks get fish moving into the bay and up river.

Folks have had some decent success for lingcod and rockfish off the North and South Jetties in Newport - as well as bay crabs throughout the bay. If you do head out on the jetties, be mindful of the tides moving in and out as well as wet slick rocks from the rains!

Trout fishing is open on the Yaquina through Oct. 31.
