Oregon

Oregon's rivers and coastal waters hold some of the Pacific Northwest's most rewarding fishing. Whether you're after steelhead in winter rivers, salmon during their runs, or bottomfish off the rocky coast, Oregon's seasons and regulations shape how and when you fish. The state's geography—from the Cascades to the ocean—creates distinct fishing grounds, each with its own character and the fish that live there.

These articles cover what you need to know about fishing in Oregon: where different species run, what gear and techniques work for local conditions, how to read the regulations, and how to prepare your catch. You'll find information about specific rivers and coastal areas, the timing of seasonal runs, and recipes that honor what Oregon waters provide.
