SILETZ RIVER: Winter steelhead
Winter steelhead slowed down a bit on the Siletz. Like its neighbors, it's been a fair season on the Siletz, with fish seemingly being caught in big waves this year. Fish are taking advantage of the warmer weather and moving higher up into the basin. Fish have been caught in the upper gorge area and throughout some of the lower drift floats.
The upper gorge offers bank access for targeting winter steelhead. The gorge road has been cleared out and is accessible throughout the entire upper fishery.
We have had quite a bit of rain the past week and fish are likely pushing up further into the gorge and higher into the system.
We did have a few reports of early summer steelhead being caught as well the past week or so, as we move into spring more opportunity is available on the Siletz!
Just a reminder that the gorge road is closed to public driving access during the weekdays M-F but opens for the weekend.
The Siletz is a truly unique system offering multiple opportunities for a variety of species. Last updated 04/03/25.

Lots of water coming into the Mid Coast basins this week and fish are moving in the Siletz Basin. The steelhead seem to moving higher up in the system with the recent big rains.
Just a reminder that the gorge road is closed to public driving access during the weekdays M-F but opens for the weekend.
