Boat and bank anglers (on the jetty) are still catching rockfish inside lower Coos Bay. Smaller jigs with a twister tail or 1-ounce jigging spoons have been working to catch rockfish. The daily bag limit for marine fish was recently reduced to 5. As of June 1, boat anglers are no longer able to retain China, copper and quillback rockfish. Anglers can still harvest 2 lingcod per day. 

The wild coho fishery in Coos Basin closed Oct 15. There are a few diehard Chinook salmon anglers fishing the upper portions of tidewater but the majority of salmon anglers in Coos Bay have put away their gear. Salmon anglers are allowed 2 wild Chinook per day and 10 for the season in the Coos Basin this year.

Trout fishing in streams and rivers remains closes after Oct. 31.
