Fishing

The Tillamook Area is home to world class fishing and the most popular fishing area of the Pacific Northwest! Fishing for the delicious Chinook Salmon and Albacore Tuna is just the beginning, with Pacific Halibut and many varieties of bottom fish just offshore waiting to be caught.

The seven rivers of the Tillamook Area abound with abundant Coho Salmon and wild Steelhead Salmon. The Nestucca, Nehalem and Tillamook Bays make up the most popular crabbing and clamming area in the entire Pacific Northwest.

Clamming/Crabbing

Tillamook County bays and ocean beaches have the largest area of clam beds of any Oregon county. Many people have never dug clams but it is an exciting sport that provides excellent food any month in the year. Thousands in Tillamook County and elsewhere have never dug clams because they don't know how. Request a booklet that gives the information that will get you started on a year round hobby. Tillamook County offers fine boat moorages, guides, boat launching ramps, sporting good stores, motels, resorts, and parks for camping. Both razor clams and bay clams are found in Tillamook County, but the razor clam is the only ocean clam, while there are many varieties of bay clams.
