is slow to fair. River condi-
tions 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.

Steelhead fishing is slow.
River conditions are low and

the 1500 meters (4:37.60).
In the girls division, Siuslaw

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.
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.
