Winter steelhead fishing continues to be fair on the Alsea with the low water conditions. There are still fish around to be caught throughout the system but the low water is making it tough, especially for the bank anglers on the NF Alsea. The drift boaters fishing the mainstem are still catching fish but it has slowed down there as well. Fishing should pick back up with the next significant rain event.

Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22, 2022.
