Oregon Coast Fishing Report
August is now officially behind us and September is here. We welcome the cool nights, warm days and splish splash of the anadromous fish entering the coastal rivers. We spent the weekend on the coast fishing for sea-run cutthroats (blueback trout), while keeping our eyes open for the first chinook and coho of the year. Sea-run trout fishing was good as always. We hooked a few really big fish (up to 18″) and landed lots of smaller ones. It seems the bulk of the early fish are smaller on average than those that show up in the coming weeks, but still there’s nothing better than the vicious topwater strike of a hungry sea-run cutthroat. Successful patterns included, the ‘ol black and orange, reverse spiders, coachmen bucktails and black-nosed dace.
We also ran into a few bigger fish that made our day including the lovely little super jack chinook below. The Fall run has officially started and we’re excited to be on the water a bunch in the coming weeks.
