The Alsea River closed to steelhead on April 30. Fishing for cutthroat trout opened on May 22. Coastal Cutthroat will be distributed throughout the Alsea basin and provide an excellent and fun opportunity during the summer months. As we move into July cutthroat will start moving throughout the basin more and more. We haven't had a ton of reports of fish being caught but with lower waters going into the weekend coastal cutthroat fishing is a great opportunity to wet a line! With the lower waters, hitting the river in the early mornings before temperatures rise can be a good bet for landing cuttrhoat in the basin! Anglers are reminded to check the regulations for use of bait and whether there are closed streams.
