  • Summary

  • For December 22, 2024, if you're planning to fish in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Oregon, here's what you need to know:

    First, let's look at the tides. For the North Coast, specifically around Tillamook Bay, the high tide is expected around 9:20 AM with a height of about 8.8 feet, and the low tide will be at 3:39 PM with a height of about 1.0 foot[2].

    Weather conditions are crucial; today is expected to be partly cloudy with a light breeze, which is favorable for fishing. Sunrise is at 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM.

    Fish activity has been good, especially for those targeting steelhead and coho salmon. In the Willamette Zone, particularly in the Middle Fork Willamette River, anglers have been catching a combination of coho and steelhead. The temporary rule allowing coho fishing from October 1 to December 31 is still in effect, with a limit of two coho or steelhead per person per day[1].

    For the best results, use lures and artificial flies, as bait is not allowed from November 1 onwards. In the reservoirs like Dorena Reservoir, anglers have reported good success with lures for trout, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass. For coho and steelhead, try using spinners or small jigs.

    Hot spots include the Middle Fork Willamette River below Dexter Dam and the McKenzie River downstream of Leaburg Dam. The mouth of Eagle Creek on the Clackamas River is also popular, though it can be crowded and closely monitored by OSP[1].

    Remember to respect spawning fish and beds, and always report any poaching or violations to the authorities. Enjoy your day on the water
