River forks in the South Coos and Millicoma basins should be in shape this week, with the cold, snowy weather. Steelhead fishing conditions should hold up until higher elevation snow melts off. Steelhead anglers wanting to fish the South Fork Coos River will need a Dellwood Fishing Access Permit, available from the Weyerhaeuser website.   

Trout fishing in streams and rivers will reopen May 22, 2019, while lakes in the basin are open year-round. Spring stocking of Coos area lakes begins the last week of February and first week of March, and continues up to the Free Fishing Weekend in June.
