STRUCTURE
Drop Off
Outer Exposed

Wash Rock is an outer-exposed rocky drop-off off Charleston, Oregon, where the bottom falls steeply through depths of 330 to 1310 feet. The structure holds Chinook and Coho Salmon through their June-to-September peak, with Pacific Halibut moving over the deeper edges from May into September. Lingcod fishing turns on from December through March, while Black Rockfish stack up over the rock during summer. Anglers troll cut-plug herring, whole herring, spoons, and hoochies for salmon along the drop-off, and drift herring, salmon bellies, octopus, or squid for halibut on the deeper flats. Jigging metal jigs, leadhead jigs, and swimbaits works the rocky structure for both Lingcod and Black Rockfish.
