***Update*** The Siletz Basin will have a limited wild coho fishery this year from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 with a limit of 1 wild coho per day and 1 wild Coho for the season. It’s a “one and done” season bag limit. See the regulation update section above for more information about open areas and aggregate limits for the NW and SW zones.

Summer steelhead continues to be slow on the Siletz and the numbers of fish returning this year is low. Low water and warm temperatures are making things tough for steelhead fishing but there are a few fish around to be caught. Fishing pressure continues to be very light.

Fall Chinook continues to be steady on the Siletz with some days better than others, but fish are being caught every day. Fish are now starting to spread out in the system from the mouth to the upper portions of the estuary. The forecasted rainstorm this weekend will stir things up and have fish on the move.

Trout fishing in streams remains open through Oct. 31. Check the regulations for open areas and bait restrictions.
