My family will be staying in Florence late July thru early August this year and we are looking to go salmon and bottom fishing with a guide or charter.
Anyone have recommendations for either around Florence or Winchester Bay?
Thanks for your time!

I have a rental in Winchester Bay. The Cozy crab cottage it’s 1 block from the bay. All of the Umpqua from Salmon Harbor to the Bar and from the Harbor up River to the bend is good for trolling for Salmon.
Reedsport from museum up River to Elkton is also good.
The Siuslaw River from the Florence boat launch to the Bar is also good Salmon fishing.
You need to put out crab traps when you go at Winchester Bay. It’s been good.
The Cozy Crab Cottage in Winchester Bay has a crab pot there and we also have a pot to boil them outside.
Check out my listing online.
Thanks for the info; already have a vrbo in Florence for this year but we will check out the cottage another time. Can you recommend any charter services or guides for fishing in that area?
Late July and August is off season for Salmon and bottom fishing. Salmon is closed in the ocean in August for coho and the winds are usually high. Not trying to be a bummer, just saying. You may want to try Siltcoos lake, a great fishery for cut throat and bass. Darlings marina will have everything you need, and is a great place to eat and hang out.
Winchester bay (Salmon Harbor) will have the best charters, and the fish are closer in than in Florence.
I fish Florence regularly, the Siuslaw river provides great fishing for Chinook, but August is a bit early
I hope this helps
It does. Will check in with Salmon Harbor. Thanks for the intel. Tight lines!

Talk to Todd Harrington out of Elkton
He runs a guide service and is very helpful
Federated Sport fishing is good in Florence.
