Fall Chinook Salmon
Begins in mid August near the mouth of the
Columbia river at the world famous Buoy 10. We mainly troll
spinners and herring for fresh-from-the-ocean salmon. Later in the season,
usually in early September,
we
move south to the central coast and the Alsea and Yaquina Rivers.
These smaller rivers fish well until the first heavy fall rains arrive,
usually in mid October or early November.
Once the rains come in force, we have a
short but very productive driftboat season ending in mid November.
Fall Salmon are larger than their spring
counter parts with an average size of 20 to 30 pounds with fish up to 50
pounds being caught each season.
