Winter steelhead has picked up throughout the river. A mix of wild and hatchery fish are being caught. Rain towards the end of last week has raised the river level and got fish moving again. Casting spinners, drifting bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective.

*Note: The 3.5 mile bridge (aka Steel Bridge) in the Siletz gorge is NOW open to motorized vehicles, but is only open to public vehicles on the weekend. Anglers can walk/bike in the road during the weekdays. If anglers do walk in they can park at the one mile gate and start from there.
