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. Folks have been fishing higher up in the system down through the town loop, and chinook are still around but more than likely starting to get skunky!

Wild Coho retention on the Siletz is now closed! If you hook into wild coho, please remember to practice good catch and release tactics!

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!

Winter steelhead are also entering into the Siletz! Though it is still early in the season, some early fish are being caught throughout the system!

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!
