Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near North Bend provides a chance to target these elusive fish in several coastal rivers and streams. While not as abundant as some other species, dedicated anglers can find success. The fall months, particularly after the first rains, are prime time, as brown trout move upstream to spawn. Focus your efforts on the Coos River and its tributaries, seeking out deeper pools and undercut banks. A local tip: try fishing streamers or nymphs that imitate the local baitfish and insects. Also, be prepared to fish during low light conditions, as brown trout tend to be more active at dawn and dusk. The brown trout in this area are known for their wary nature, so stealth and careful presentation are key. Access to some areas may require hiking, but the opportunity to catch a trophy-sized brown trout in a pristine coastal setting makes it well worth the effort. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific stream closures and gear restrictions.
