SILETZ RIVER: Summer steelhead, spring Chinook, cutthroat trout
Summer steelhead are moving throughout the Siletz River. The river is back to being low and clear. There is some rain in the forecast, but it doesn't seem to amount to much on the river level forecast. Steelhead fishing has been fair, and most anglers are targeting the gorge upstream of Moonshine Park. Summer steelhead are being recycled for additional angler opportunities when available. Recycled steelhead will have a colored tag at the base of the dorsal fin. Anglers are asked to please report tagged steelhead caught in the Siletz River to [email protected] with the date and general location fish were caught. The bank access in the upper gorge offers a unique and often remote fishing experience for anglers looking to get away from crowds.
The Siletz is currently open for spring Chinook (April 1- July 31). Trout season in the Siletz opened May 22, and some sea-run cutthroat should start to become available in the lower river. Be sure to check your regulations before you head out for bait or stream restrictions. As a reminder, the Siletz River and tributaries upstream of Siletz Falls are closed to angling.
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 6/24/26.
