Sea-run and resident cutthroat trout are available throughout the Alsea River. Check your regulations before you head out for bait or stream restrictions.
Fall Chinook opened August 1, but many fish will not move in until later this fall. The wild Chinook bag limit is two per day/ten for the season from August 1 to December 31, as part of the overall daily bag limit.
Alsea Bay can also be a great option for crabbing and bay clamming. Be sure to watch the tides and follow daily limits. For more information on crabbing and clamming, refer to the Marine recreation report.
