SILETZ RIVER: Winter steelhead, summer steelhead
Winter steelhead are still moving throughout the basin, and there are still some chrome fish around. Last week's rain bumped the river up and got some fish moving, and anglers reported mixed catches of late winter steelhead and early summer steelhead. Fishing pressure has been relatively light, and most fish are being caught between Moonshine and the town of Siletz. The river appears to be in great shape and might be a perfect option for anglers looking to get out this weekend. The bank access in the upper gorge offers a unique and often remote fishing experience. Fishing the gorge can be a great option later in the season as fish push higher into the system. Anglers are reminded to be mindful of spawning steelhead and to avoid disturbing redds.
A landslide on HWY 229 has resulted in a road closure at approximately milepost 14.5. HWY 229 will be closed for the unforeseeable future until crews are able to safely remove the debris from the roadway.
As a general reminder for Anglers: Help to protect boating opportunities by maximizing distance from bank anglers and other boats. Safely row or motor around anglers and other boats and avoid motoring nearshore and in shallow areas. Last updated 4/20/26.
