Mexican Fish Report

There are still a few striped bass in the lower river that can be caught by casting swimbaits and crankbaits or by fishing bait on the bottom. There is no size limit or daily bag limit on striped bass.

The temporary regulation allowing anglers in Coquille River system to use spears and spear guns to harvest smallmouth bass ends on Oct. 31.

Note that for the remainder of 2021 season, there is a complete closure of salmon fishing in the Coquille Basin, due to a severe decline in both wild and hatchery fall Chinook returns.

Trout fishing in streams and rivers closes after Oct. 31.
