the best results. The next good
rain event should produce a
good push of fish.
ALSEA RIVER: Steelhead
The winter steelhead fishery
is slow to fair. River condi-
tions are low and clear. Look
to fish the deeper holding
water and use smaller more
subtle presentations. Casting
lures, bobber and jig/bait or
drifting beads along the bot-
tom can be effective tech-
niques.
SALMON RIVER:

Steelhead
Winter steelhead fishing is
slow to fair. River conditions
are low and clear. Anglers
should focus on the deeper
holding water. The river is
open to harvest of wild winter
steelhead through March 31.
Anglers are advised to read
the new regulations as there
are harvest restrictions and
new deadlines in effect.
The deadline for steelhead
fishing is at the confluence
with Prairie Creek which
enters the Salmon River west
of the Van Duzer rest area at
the same point as where
Sulpher Creek enters the
Salmon River.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead
Steelhead fishing is slow.
River conditions are low and
clear. Bank fishing in the
upper gorge area or floating
the lower reaches will produce
the best results until the next
good rain event. Typical steel-
head tactics apply such as side
drifting, bobber and jig/bait, or
casting spoons or spinners.
WILSON RIVER: Steelhead
Winter steelhead fishing
should be slow as the river is
low and very clear. Adjust
your gear to these conditions
by using lighter lines and
smaller presentations. Fish
will hold where there is cover;
look for depth, choppy water,
or large wood or boulders.
YAQUINA RIVER:
Steelhead
The winter steelhead fishery
is slow in the Big Elk. River
conditions are low and clear.
The fishery is typically very
slow for the rest of the season.
Anglers are advised to watch
for private property.
Typical steelhead fishing
tactics apply but the Big Elk is
bed rock dominated and does
have a lot of snags.
COOS COUNTY
LAKES/PONDS: Trout
Trout will be stocked this
week in Bradley Lake,
Saunders Lake, Powers
Pond, and Johnson Mill
Pond. This is the first trout
stocking of the year. There are
several lakes like Tenmile,
Eel, and Butterfield with
holdover rainbow trout from
last year’s stocking.
COOS RIVER BASIN:
Dungeness crab, bay clams,
steelhead, rockfish
Steelhead rivers in the Coos
Basin are very low and clear.
Anglers should concentrate
fishing deeper water using
light lines and smaller
lures/baits. There is bank
access on the West Fork
Millicoma at the Millicoma
Interpretive Center and on the
East Fork Millicoma at Nesika
Park. Access to the South Fork
Coos River is through
Weyerhaeuser property and
anglers must have a permit
from Weyerhaeuser.
In the Coos Basin, one addi-
tional fin-clipped steelhead
may be retained per day for a
total aggregate of three adult
fish harvested daily.
Fishing for lingcod and
rockfish inside lower Coos
Bay around the jetties has
been good. Lingcod have been
biting on larger jigs or on her-
ring drifted under a bobber.
The marine fish daily bag limit
(which includes fishing in
estuaries) is seven fish and a
separate daily limit for lingcod
(two).
Anglers can keep only three
blue rockfish as part of their
daily limit and there will be no
harvest of China, quillback or
copper rockfish.
UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH:
normally show up until late
March. Fish have been caught
in the Canyonville area and
hatchery fish have been report-
ed. The hatchery program for
winter steelhead is centered in
the South Umpqua, which
offers the best chance for
catching an adipose-fin
clipped steelhead for harvest.
Most hatchery fish are
caught from Canyonville
downstream. All wild fish
must be released unharmed.
Plunking should be good at
places such as Lawson Bar,
Myrtle Creek and behind
Seven Feathers.
the incoming tide. Sand
shrimp is one of the best baits
to use when fishing for surf
perch.
Fishing for bottom fish,
including rockfish and lingcod
is open to all depths. The
marine fish daily bag limit is
seven fish and a separate daily
limit of two lingcod.
Anglers can keep three blue
rockfish as part of their daily
limit and there will be no har-
vest of China, quillback, or
copper rockfish.
Sometime in March, once a
parallel federal rule is adopted,
ODFW will announce that
TENMILE BASIN:
Steelhead, largemouth bass,
yellow perch
Steelhead fishing in Tenmile
and Eel creeks over the past
week has been slow. Anglers
are picking up a few fish
plunking or back-bouncing
crankbaits from a boat.
In the Tenmile Basin, one
additional fin-clipped steel-
head may be retained per day
for a total aggregate of three
adult fish harvested daily.
Bass anglers have been
catching a few largemouth
bass in Tenmile Lakes. Water
temperatures in the shallow
water is warmer than usual for
this time of the year because
of several unseasonably warm
days.
Anglers fishing off the
County fish dock have been
catching yellow perch fishing
a worm near the bottom. Some
of these yellow perch have
measured 12-inches or bigger.
