Spring Chinook fishing has begun on the Siletz. There have had a few reports of fish being caught lower in the system but it is still slow. Springers are likely dispersed further up into the system and offer a unique opportunity in the Siletz river.
Summer steelhead have been reported in the catch. Angling should improve over the next month as these fish push to the gorge. Bank angling in the gorge is best from late June through July. If stream flows allow, the float from Moonshine Park to Siletz can be productive as well! Reports of fish being caught is starting to increase as we move further into June. The Siletz does have hatchery steelhead providing additional harvest opportunity!
Cutthroat trout fishing opened on May 22. Cutthroat will be distributed throughout the Siletz basin. Anglers are reminded to check the regulations for use of bait and whether there are closed streams.
