Winter steelhead are moving up in the Siletz River. Like the rest of the mid-coast basins fishing has picked up with the recent rains over the past few weeks. However, with the colder temps the past few days and going into the weekend, fishing will slow down until we have warmer rains come into the system. 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.

Road conditions are hazardous particularly in the upper portion of the gorge. Downed trees, snow and ice remain, making access difficult to the upper river.

Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22, 2023
