Idaho Fish Report

Spring Chinook fishing in Tillamook Bay slowed a little following last weekend's rain as many fish moved into the rivers. There are still springers in the bay, and fresh fish still coming however. Trolling herring is a go-to technique for the lower bay, especially out by the jetty's while in the upper bay spinners, plugs, and bobber fishing can also be effective.

Trout season opened in the rivers and bays on May 22nd. Sea-run cutthroat trout are starting to show up in the bay and tidewaters and fishing should continue to improve through July.

Fishing for rockfish and kelp greening should still be decent near the mouth of the bay (by boat or off the North Jetty). Ling cod fishing will start slowing down inside the bay as the summer goes on, but there is still a chance. Surf perch fishing also slows down in the bay and anglers will find better success on the beaches during the summer.
