ALSEA RIVER: Steelhead
The winter steelhead fishery
is slowing down for the sea-
son down but fair numbers of
fish can still be found in the
upper river, especially after a
rain event. Native fish tend to
be prevalent this time of year.
Casting lures, bobber and
jig/bait or drifting beads along
the bottom can be very effec-
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead
Steelhead fishing is slow to
fair. Fish are being caught in
most sections depending on
river conditions. This time of
year tends to produce a good
percent of native fish and/or
post spawn fish. Typical steel-
head tactics apply such as side
drifting, bobber and jig / bait,
or casting spoons or spinners.

numbers of fish into the sys-
tem. Fish will be holding ups
as flows are low. Bank anglers
can find success throughout
the river. Boaters should fish
the lower drifts until more
rains come. Use lighter gear in
the clear water. Spring
Chinook fishing opens April 1,
but few fish will be present
for several weeks.
YAQUINA RIVER:
Steelhead
The winter steelhead fishery
is slow in the Big Elk. 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.
UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH:
Steelhead
Fish have been caught in
the Canyonville area and
hatchery fish have been
reported.
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 L AWSON B AR , M YRTLE
C REEK and behind Seven
Feathers. The water has been
low making it harder for long
boat drifts, but still suitable
for bank anglers.
