COOS RIVER; Coos Bay, Ore.–There are so many salmon being caught on most days, that it would be impossible to estimate how many king’s were being harvested. From the North Bend Bridge to Saus Brother’s, it has been a traffic jam of angler’s on the water, according to WON Field Reporter and guide Curtis Palmer of River Secret’s Guide Service. Spinning plug cut herring is what 98% of the angler’s are using. “Just thinking about how great the fishing has been this season puts a smile on my face,” he said.

COQUILLE RIVER, Bandon, Ore.-This river is not only putting out large catches of Chinook salmon, but the fish are also heavy on the scales, Palmer said. Average weight of one of these fatties is over 20 pound’s. Fishing only a couple short miles from the ocean, anglers are catching fish that entered the river only hours earlier. This is a fun place to fish, with lots of historical scenery that makes an angler wonder what thing’s must have been like a short 60 years ago in this drainage.

ROGUE RIVER, Gold Beach, Ore.-WON Field Reporter and guide Curtis Palmer of River Secrets Guide Service, said there are still some nice king’s being caught in the bay, and there have been a few hatchery king’s being reported over the last week, which means the Indian Creek fish are starting to arrive. These salmon find home in a stream at the upper end of the bay. Angler’s from shore can have success fishing for these salmon casting spinner’s from the bank next to where Indian Creek enters the Rogue Bay. Guide Bill Divens of Salmonkinglodge.com said he’s still doing very well on the bright kings upriver.
