Fly Fishing The Siletz River Oregon
The Siletz River is about seventy miles long and drains a
large amount of the Coastal range between Newport and
Lincoln City Oregon.
The river has some of the best steelhead fishing on the
coast of Oregon. It has a large fall run of Chinook
Salmon as well as some of the best sea-run cutthroat
trout fishing on the Coast of Oregon.
The river also has its native cutthroat trout. This
resident cutthroat trout fishery is best in the upper parts
of the river.
The best steelhead fishing runs from December through
March. There's also a summer run of steelhead trout.
The fall run of Chinook Salmon occurs from September
through November. Coho Salmon runs are very good.
The Coho Salmon are mostly wild fish and must be
released.
The Siletz River has several boat ramps but most all of
the property is private.

you have to check the current regulations each year.

trout.
