Fall Chinook continues to be fair on the Siletz! After a slower start fishing has really picked up in the past few weeks with the recent rains we have seen. Fish are still moving throughout tidewater, and catch will likely increase given the cooler temperatures. More fish are entering the system and folks have been catching as high up as Jack Morgan and Strome and towards the deadline at Illahee

You can troll for coho in the lower Siletz Bay. Coho are certainly rolling around the lower Siletz now, though the overall catch has remained fair. The coho fishery will close this Sunday November 16. Remember to check your regulations before heading out!

Although most folks switch to salmon in the fall, summer steelhead are still throughout the upper gorge. Hatchery fish are still being caught in the gorge which offers a lot of unique bank angling opportunities this time of year!

As a general reminder for Anglers: Help to protect boating opportunities by maximizing distance from bank anglers and other boats. Safely row or motor around anglers and other boats and avoid motoring nearshore and in shallow areas!
