There are a handful of bank angling spots within the fishery, but if you are targeting summer steelhead, reminder to check your regulations on where Chinook fishery closes. If you do happen to hook into a migrating Fall Chinook outside of the retention fishery, please follow safe handling techniques as we endure higher summer temperatures.

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 as well! We saw more hatchery summers move into the basin in July, but numbers were low given the low river levels and high temps. The Siletz does have hatchery steelhead providing additional harvest opportunity!

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.
