Winter steelhead fishing has improved on the Siuslaw as the river continues to drop into shape and clear up. The dry weather pattern will provide good conditions this week and through the weekend. Expect the fishing to remain good through February as more fish move into the system each day. The best fishing has been around the Whitaker Creek area.

Lake Creek opened for winter steelhead fishing on Dec. 1. Fishing has been fair so far on Lake Creek and there are fish out there to be caught through the month of February
