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. 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. 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. 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.
