Commercial Fishing Among Greatest Industries In Southwestern Oregon
Southwestern Oregon with its Choteo Rogue Sixes Elk and Coquillo rivers is a fishermans paradise and ranks high among the nations leading fishing regions. The wartime shark liver demand boosted prices to sixteen dollars a point and many anglers profited. Port Orford jumbo crab and Chinook, Silverside, and shad fisheries drive annual yields in the hundreds of thousands of pounds. Striped bass and albacore tuna catches rise, while clam and oyster harvests support steady coastal commerce. Travelers can fish, dig clams, or buy fresh crab and canned seafood from local outfits.
