Winter steelhead have moved into the Siletz! Th ough it's still early in the season, some fish have been moving into the system and are starting to spread out. With the rain we got over the holidays, quite a few fish moved into the system and are being caught.

With the weather shift over the next few weeks the water should belower clear and fishable! The gorge offers bank access for targeting winter steelhead, though with the icy winter conditions it could be a tough drive - worth the effort!

The Siletz is a truly unique system offering multiple opportunities for a variety of species.
