The Siuslaw is back open for Fall Chinook! We have had a few reports of fish being caught in Siuslaw bay although it is still early in the season. A few early fish have been caught, as the first group is pushing into the basin. Your best bet in the lower Siuslaw in trolling though there is a few bank angling spots along the boulder rip rap in the lower stretches of the river. Fish haven't moved too far into the system yet but are definitely around in the basin.

More fish have definitely been coming into the Siuslaw but with low rains, like its neighbors the bulk of the first fish haven't quite hit the system!

There are a decent number of Lakes in the Florence/Siuslaw area that offer excellent warm water fisheries this time of year, including bass fisheries and stocked lakes! Since Fall fisheries are still early, this is a good time to hit the lakes!

Cutthroat will be distributed throughout the Siletz basin. Anglers are reminded to check the regulations for the use of bait and whether there are closed streams.
