Includes updates to fishing, hunting, crabbing, clamming, and wildlife viewing.  Deer and elk archery seasons begin Saturday, Aug. 29! Some A&H access areas are reopening to public access just in time for the hunt.  Best bets for weekend fishing:  Fall salmon seasons on coastal rivers are underway and there is more opportunity to catch wild Chinook and continued opportunity for wild coho this year.  Rockfish are picking up with a good average catch rate.  Buoy 10 offers both boat and bank fishing opportunities from August through September.  Beat the crowds and go fishing for sea-run cutthroat in coastal streams, bays and tidewaters.  Fish for trout or change up to warmwater game species. See specific zone reports for best bets.   Southwest:  Some of the more popular spots to fish for red-tailed surfperch are along beaches like Horsefall Beach and Whiskey Run. Anglers have the best success fishing with sand shrimp weighted gear on the bottom although power grubs can also work.  Try warmwater fishing for bass at Ben Irving, Howard Prairie and Hyatt Reservoirs.  Cooper Creek Reservoir looks nice and clear. Go earlier in the morning or fish deeper for success.  This is a good time of year to look for cutthroat in the Chetco River estuary. The estuary has very little bank access. Please be mindful of out-migrating salmon and steelhead smolt. If you catch these young salmonids, consider switching to barbless hooks and/or moving to a new location.  Hemlock and Lake of the Woods are accessible, and people are catching good numbers of trout.   Marine:  There have been some changes to ocean salmon regulations so be sure to check for updates. See the ocean salmon regulations in either a time and area graphic view or as a map.  All ports are seeing soft, recently molted, male crab. While these are legal to keep, it is worth noting that they will not be as full of meat or the meat may not be as high quality.  Take part in a scavenger hunt for science! Explore the tidepools and submit your photos for science (and prizes)! Participate in the Oregon Marine Reserve Partnership's BioBlitz across Oregon's five marine reserves, marine protected areas, and nearby intertidal areas throughout August. No scientific experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
