One of the staples of the native residents, which they gave great thanks for, was the abundance of fish, and seafood. That appreciation of the bounty grew as the area was settled by the Westerners who learned fishing techniques from the local inhabitants and brought with them a whole new way of preparing seafood. From there, an industry was born that has allowed the area to grow and prosper.

A Note on recreational fishing opportunities for ocean salmon include:

There has been a lot in the news lately about the Salmon fishing season. While commercial fishing has been dramatically affected by restrictions and cancellations, the sports minded can take heart because fewer modifications have affected them. In the ocean from Cape Falcon to the Oregon/California border, the salmon season is scheduled to open for seven day-per-week fishing in June. For a current overview, please checkout the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's latest coastal salmon fishing map: 2008 Ocean Sport Salmon Seasons.pdf. There is also alot of great information at the Travel Oregon website newsroom; visit http://traveloregon.mediaroom.com

Even more exciting, the regulations approved by the PFMC will not affect recreational salmon fishing opportunities in Oregon’s coastal rivers or bays. Fishing seasons and regulations for these fisheries will be approved by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission at its June meeting.

The data presented here is for informational use only. Before fishing, you should consult ODFW's fishing regulations, which vary within and between zones and can change at any time.
