SILETZ RIVER: Spring Chinook, summer steelhead, cutthroat trout
Spring Chinook fishing has begun on the Siletz. There have had a few reports of fish being caught lower in the system but it is still slow.
Summer steelhead have been reported in the catch. Angling should improve over the next month as these fish push to the gorge. Bank angling in the gorge is best from late June through July. If stream flows allow, the float from Moonshine Park to Siletz can be productive.
Cutthroat trout fishing opened on May 22. Cutthroat will be distributed throughout the Siletz basin. Anglers are reminded to check the regulations for use of bait and whether there are closed streams. Last updated 5/27/25.
SILETZ RIVER: Winter steelhead, spring Chinook
The Siletz has been remaining fair and steady throughout March and April.
We are still seeing fresh fish reaching the trap, which bodes well for bank angling along the upper gorge road! The obstruction land slide at mile post 12.1 has been removed allowing full access to the fishery.
Spring Chinook fishing has begun on the Siletz. Although it's still early in the season we have had a few reports of fish being caught lower in the system. With the rains we got last week, going into the sunny weekend we should see some fresh fish moving into the system. Springer fishing won't really pick up until later May and into June.
Trout fishing will reopen May 22. Last updated 5/8/25.
