Oregon Fishing Seasons – Best Times to Catch Top Fish Species

Oregon’s coastal waters offer incredible fishing opportunities year-round, with different inshore and offshore fish species peaking during specific seasons. Whether you're targeting Coos Bay salmon fishing, bottom fish, or offshore giants like halibut and tuna, knowing when to go can make all the difference. Spring and summer bring excellent Chinook salmon fishing in Oregon, while fall is prime time for Coho salmon fishing. Rockfish and lingcod are available nearly year-round, making them a great option for consistent action in Oregon’s inshore waters.

Inshore Fishing Seasons – Salmon, Rockfish & Lingcod

Inshore fishing in Oregon is best from March through October, with Chinook and Coho salmon running strong during the spring and fall. Coos Bay Oregon salmon fishing typically peaks from May through September, with the fall run drawing anglers to the estuaries and bays. Rockfish and lingcod fishing is productive all year, but winter and early spring offer excellent opportunities to catch these bottom-dwelling fish in Coos Bay and along the Oregon Coast. Crabbing is also a popular year-round activity, with peak harvests from late fall to early spring.

Offshore Fishing Seasons – Halibut, Albacore Tuna & More

Offshore fishing in Oregon’s deep waters provides exciting opportunities for anglers looking to target big fish. Pacific halibut fishing is best from May through September, with deep-water trips producing some of the largest catches. Albacore tuna fishing in Oregon peaks during the warmer months of July through September, when these fast-moving fish migrate close to shore. Offshore bottom fishing for lingcod and yelloweye rockfish is available year-round, with prime conditions in spring and fall. Whether you're fishing inshore for salmon or heading offshore for trophy halibut, Oregon’s seasonal fishing patterns provide nonstop action throughout the year!
