Fishing Coos Bay

Coos Bay to Depoe Bay: big estuaries, jetties and the world's smallest navigable harbor at Depoe Bay.

What's biting now (Fall): Fall salmon runs in coastal rivers and bays (by season); surfperch and rockfish from jetties.

Commonly caught in this area: Rockfish, lingcod, surfperch, salmon in season and crab.

Also caught here: cabezon, kelp greenling, steelhead, white sturgeon.

Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
