YOUR OREGON COAST fishing

Adventure

Oregon salmon fishing is second to none and Winchester Bay has been proudly dubbed the “Crabbing Capital of the World”. So if it’s fishing and crabbing you’re after, you’ve come to the right place.

 

Between the Pacific Ocean, Umpqua River, and countless estuaries, there’s plenty of bounty to share. And for beginners or those who want some pointers from a pro, charters and guided trips are available to book. But before you go, here are a few tips…
