Winter steelhead are moving up in the Siletz River. Similar to the rest of the mid coast basins fishing has picked up with the recent rains. We are seeing a handful of newer fish push into the system and push higher into the system with the recent rains coming in. January-March is the typical peak for winter steelhead fishing on the Siletz River.

Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22, 2023.
