WILSON RIVER: winter steelhead
Winter steelhead fishing on the Wilson has been fair to good since it dropped back into shape early this week. It is predicted to go up a little again on Friday but should be fishable through the weekend.
The Wilson is one of our largest broodstock hatchery releases and there should be fish throughout the fishery and fresh steelhead still coming in. There are both hatchery and wild steelhead (catch-and-release only for wilds) throughout the fishery. Last updated 3/19/25.

YAQUINA RIVER: winter steelheadHatchery steelhead is open on the Yaquina River. Like its neighbors on the Mid Coast, the recent rains have moved fish into the basin though we haven't gotten many reports from the Yaquina of fish being caught. Fishing in the Yaquina basin remains fair this season. Last Updated 3/5/25.
