ALSEA RIVER: cutthroat
Fishing is fair to good for resident cutthroat trout throughout most of the river. Sea-run cutthroat trout fishing is good in tidewater and in most of the main stem. Trolling in tidewater with small lures, fly fishing or casting small lures can be very productive. Bait is not allowed above head of tide. Excellent opportunities also exist for harvest of crayfish.
KILCHIS RIVER: cutthroat
Sea-run cutthroat are available in tidewater areas and should be moving upstream also. Try small spinners or flies in areas with some depth and/or hiding cover.
NESTUCCA RIVER AND THREE RIVERS: steelhead, cutthroat
Summer steelhead angling is fair but should improve with the rain we had this week. Fish are spread out up the river. Low flows will make floating difficult. Anglers should approach holes quietly and utilize smaller baits and lighter lines to avoid spooking fish. Be there at first light for best chance at catching one of these wary fish. Angling for cutthroat trout should be fair, with action picking up in tidewater. Try trolling or casting spinners or streamer type flies, especially near banks with wood or other cover.
SILETZ RIVER: summer steelhead and cutthroat trout
Summer steelhead angling is slow to fair. Angling is typically slower in August as river conditions are low, clear and warm. Currently best opportunities are early in the mornings. Good bank access can be found in the gorge area upstream of Moonshine Park (River Mile 54). Anglers are reminded that there are access restrictions in the gorge road upstream from Moonshine Park on weekdays due to heavy logging traffic. The gorge road is open to public vehicles on weekends and walk in angling is allowed during the week.

TILLAMOOK BAY: sturgeon, coho
Angling for sturgeon has been slow, but sturgeon are reported to be present in upper tidewater of the Tillamook River. Fishing the upper bay and river tidewaters will help anglers avoid crab and other bait stealers. Expect hatchery coho to enter the bay in the next week or so. A few hatchery coho may be available now near the jaws, especially on incoming tides.
TRASK RIVER: steelhead, cutthroat
Summer steelhead angling is fair, but recent rains have fish being more active which should result in better catch rates. Fish are spread up river to the County Park. Anglers should approach holes quietly and utilize smaller baits and lighter lines to avoid spooking fish. Be there at first light for best chance at catching one of these wary fish.

YAQUINA RIVER: cutthroat
Angling cutthroat trout in the Yaquina River and Big Elk Creek is fair to good. Anglers are having good success for sea-run cutthroat trout in upper tidewater. Trolling small lures or drifting bait and bobber near the bank in tide water are effective techniques.
