The Siletz is definitely picking up steam. With the temperatures finally on the rise, folks have been catching lots of springers and summers. ‌

We have recycled several loads of hatchery summer steelhead back into the system for additional opportunity. We recycled several loads over the past two weeks and more still this week. Lots of fish should be found in the basin going into this weekend.‌

Spring Chinook fishing has been going relatively strong. We are starting to see more and more being caught, even some reports of fish being caught higher up in the gorge although the deadline is lower. As temperatures increase, please remember to practice safe handling techniques and keep those fish wet! As temps increase best practices would be trying your best to not remove the fish out of the water no matter how tempting a good photo opt could be! ‌

Trout fishing reopened May 22.
