The Siletz has had a strong Fall chinook fishery but like the rest of our North Coast basins it's coming to a close. The rains we have had these last weeks have pushed any lingering fish high into the spawning grounds.
Like the Salmon and Alsea rivers, the first few winter steelhead are beginning to enter the Siletz Basin. The Siletz also has a hatchery component to its steelhead run and provides a great opportunity early in the season for steelhead retention.
Trout fishing closed Oct. 31.
