The first few summer steelhead have been seen higher up in the system, with fresh bright color. Over the coming weeks more will start coming into the system. More fish have been seen higher in the basin, and bank casting higher in the gorge may lead to a successful trip.

Going into the weekend the Siletz will be your best bet for any early summer steelhead coming back into the basin.

We have seen a few fresh springers high in the system as well. The Siletz has a huge variety of species to cast for this weekend!

Trout fishing reopened May 22.
