Spring Salmon Runs Are Coming: Oregon Coast Rivers, Best Fishing Spots, and Chinook Behavior

Spring Chinook are some of the most prized salmon in Oregon. They are bright, powerful, ocean-fresh fish that return from the Pacific carrying heavy shoulders, silver sides, and rich meat. They enter rivers months before spawning, which makes them different from fall Chinook. These fish are not always easy to catch, but that is part of what makes them so special. You do not just show up and stumble into spring salmon. You watch the river, study the tide, pay attention to water color, and put your time in.
