Gone Fishin'!
Winchester Bay
Want to fish on your own?
You’re in luck! Winchester Bay has great spots to cast a line.
Stop by Salmon Harbor Tackle at 495 Beach Blvd for all your fishing, crabbing, and clamming gear. They rent out crab pots and will even cook up your catch for you!
Need a quick check on river conditions? Just glance at the readerboard near the U.S. Coast Guard station, where the current Umpqua River bar report is always posted.
And before you head out, visit DeepSwell for real-time info on tides, swells, and weather, so you can plan the perfect day on the water. For any questions, give the shop a call at 541-643-7055.
