Fresh Lincoln City Fishing Reports

Spring Chinook fishing

We start out salmon fishing in the morning and then mid-morning go pull our crab pots and enjoy the catch.

This was a 4-Hour half-day trip for crab and spring Chinook. We hooked five fish and landed two and they only wanted to have a few crabs for dinner so we threw the rest back.

We started out Springer fishing. Had a few bites and lost them. Got one small Springer that is amazing table fare. And then headed out and grabbed and got 16 jumbos that are full this time of year and super tasty. That was in about an hour. This was a 4-Hour total trip and everyone enjoyed it. It's amazing scenery and experience.

We have had a delightful winter season and we have a few trips added to our list of services. I am offering more specific services to help plan our day better. Fishing, Crabbing or Fishing & Crabbing combination trips have been updated. We are still catching Dungeness Crab and Spring Chinook will start running soon. We can get out when the weather is good. The tides have been favorable. Feel free to message me today to ask when will be a good time to fish if you want to go within the week. Otherwise, book ahead and we will do a good fishing dance. Our rescheduling process is easy, refundable cancelations available for inclement weather.

Heading into the New Year, we have been filling up our seats! We have folks planning to fish while on their vacations and have been fishing with locals just the same. You can pre-book for any time of the year. We have the unique experience to fish in our backyard...quite literally. We get to launch from my personal dock on the lower Siletz River. This saves us alot of time and energy launching a boat and leaving our vehicles. What this also means, is more time to fish! This place is so uniquely amazing because it is on a Wildlife Refuge and the bay is made up of small islands and deep channels that wind around them. This offers the opportunity for catching Salmon and dungeness crab. These are all tidal waters and the ocean is not far away. Book a trip with us today and experience it for yourself! "The lower Siletz River is popular for anyone wanting to fish for salmon. The Siletz River, which runs alongside the refuge, has both a spring and fall run of Chinook salmon along with coho, steelhead and cutthroat trout. The refuge offers bank fishing from the Alder Island Nature Trail. This easy, half-mile walking trail winds along the Siletz River and Millport Slough. The parking lot and bank fishing opportunities are available from sunrise to sunset. Dogs are NOT allowed on the nature trail. The fall run of Chinook is the most popular with anglers, but a diversity of surfperch enter the bay in late spring. The fishing for surfperch ranges from fair to excellent through fall, depending on tides and weather conditions. Check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Fishing Regulations for restrictions, harvest limits, and season dates." **hidden content**
