A November Rain? Our Salmon fishing needs it!
Tillamook Bay’s Wilson and Trask River are ready for big things if we can get some rain. The lack of rain is getting a bit old, but we’ve managed to slug it out this week anyway. Only one day of poor results and several decent days means we’re doing better than most. It pays to […]

The Multi Species Plan and Tillamook Bay Fishing
A State Wide Agenda disguissed as “The Coastal Plan” could hurt Tillamook Bay Fishing. It’s the best collection of Salmon and steelhead fishing rivers (Wilson, Trask and Kilchis, Miami and Tillamook Rivers) meeting up as what’s known as Tillamook Bay. Salmon Trout Steelheader Magazine listed this fishery in it’s Top 10 some years back and […]
Tillamook Bay Opens to Wild Coho Fishing
Common sense management leads to more fishing on Tillamook Bay. My how far we’ve come. There was a time when the thought of keeping a native coho wasn’t something anybody thought would ever be a possible. The ODFW were allowing commercial fishermen to harvest up to 85% of the runs and it’s no wonder stocks […]
