The Yaquina River and bay are open for Chinook salmon April 1 – December 31. Trout season in the Yaquina River opened May 22, and some sea-run cutthroat should be headed upstream. Be sure to check your regulations before you head out for bait or stream restrictions. Jetties can be a great place to target rockfish and surf perch during the spring. For information on marine species such as surf perch, rockfish and lingcod, refer to the Marine Recreation Report.
