Winter steelhead fishing is starting to slow down for the season on the Siulsaw. Winter steelhead fishing typically starts to slow down in March on the Siuslaw.
Anglers are reminded that Whitaker Creek is closed during the steelhead season and to target these fish near the confluence of the Siuslaw River. There is also a small hatchery release in Lake Creek (located at Green Creek) that provides opportunity to catch hatchery winter steelhead from December - March.
Trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22, 2022.
