On the Water

Fishing Lincoln City

Fishing near Lincoln City offers a unique blend of coastal river and nearby ocean opportunities. The North and South Nehalem Rivers, as well as the Salmon River, are prime spots for Fall Chinook and Coho salmon during their autumn migration. These systems provide classic Pacific Northwest river fishing. As winter arrives, Winter Steelhead enter these coastal tributaries, offering thrilling sport. While our focus here is on salmon and steelhead, the proximity to the ocean means we can also discuss possibilities for ocean charters if conditions and your interests align, though our primary offerings from Lincoln City are river-based. We also find opportunities for Trout in the upper reaches of these systems.
