SILETZ RIVER: Fall Chinook winter steelhead
Fall Chinook continues to be fair on the Siletz, though like its neighbors is slowing down as we progress towards the end of the season. Folks have been fishing higher up in the system down through the town loop, and chinook are still around but more than likely starting to get skunky!
Wild Coho retention on the Siletz is now closed! If you hook into wild coho, please remember to practice good catch and release tactics!
Winter steelhead are also entering into the Siletz! Though still early in the season, some early fish are being caught throughout the system!
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!
