Steelhead fishing on the Siletz River continues to be slow but did improve this week with some much needed rain. Overall, it continues to be slow but there are fish around and it will continue to produce through the month of March. The river is dropping quickly again and will be low and clear for the upcoming weekend. Fish are now distributed throughout the river from the boat sections up through the gorge. Mid-February to mid-March is typically the peak for Siletz steelheading.

The 4.0 mile bridge (aka Steel Bridge) in the Siletz gorge is open to motorized vehicles on the weekends only. Anglers can walk/bike in the road during the weekdays. There is a parking area located at the 1-mile gate where anglers can walk/bike upstream from there.
