Winter steelhead fishing has slowed down a bit on the Siletz with the lack of rain and low/clear conditions. There are still fish around and the drift boats are catching fish everyday throughout the system. Things should improve with the next shot of rain.
Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22, 2022.
