Idaho Fish Report

The Siletz has a variety of species to cast for this weekend! ‌

Fish are still moving around higher in the basin, and bank casting higher in the gorge may lead to a successful trip. Hatchery steelhead have been caught throughout the system, though not a lot have been reported. It's been a slow-going season for summer steelhead with just not a lot of fish caught in the basin. It continues to stay slow with the hotter dryer weather we have had throughout the coast. Some fish are still being seen in the Basin though not a lot have been caught.‌

We have seen a consistent number of hatchery fish reaching the trap higher up in the Gorge, so fish have taken advantage of the cooler temps we have seen this week and the small amounts of rain we have gotten and are moving higher up.‌

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

We haven't seen as many springers at the trap but we have had reports of more fish moving around Siletz. ‌

Fall Chinook has opened on the Siletz, and same as our other Mid Coast basins, it's still very early. But Fish will likely start coming up into the bay in the next coming weeks. There have been some early fish being caught tidewater and below, out near the mouth as well. The Siletz has been slow but fish are starting to move around the basin. ‌

Trout fishing remains open through Oct. 31.
