CORVALLIS — With per-
sistently warm and dry weather
on the Oregon Coast this
spring, Siuslaw National Forest
officials have raised the
Forest’s fire danger level to
“moderate” and are reminding
visitors to be mindful of fire
safety this summer.
“Although we’re not as
prone to wildfires as National
Forests in arid regions, the
Siuslaw National Forest does
have a history of wildfires,”

ment officer. “Steep slopes and
thick layers of organic material
on the ground can provide
opportunities for wildfires to
grow and spread quickly.”
The majority of fires on the
Siuslaw National Forest are
human-caused, Eddy said.
“Of the 15 recorded inci-
dents we had last year, 14 of
them were determined to be
human-caused,” he said, citing
escaped campfires as the lead-
ing cause.
No fire restrictions for the
public are in place, but visitors
are asked to exercise caution
when visiting natural areas:
1. Keep campfires small and
in an area cleared down to min-
eral soil
2. Only burn materials that
fit within the campfire ring
3. Be mindful of overhang-
ing vegetation or limbs
4. Extinguish all campfires
before leaving — even if gone
for a short period of time
5. Smoke inside vehicles or
in areas cleared at least four

MID COAST LAKES
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species
can be productive during
the spring as lake tempera-
tures start to rise and fish
begin spawning. Anglers
will start finding more fish
up in the shallows this time
of year.
SIUSLAW RIVER: cut-
throat trout
The cutthroat trout sea-
son is now open for the
season. The main stem of
the Siuslaw and Lake
Creek can be good fishing
as well as the larger tribu-
taries entering these sys-
tems. Bait is not allowed
above the head of tide but
small spinners, spoons and
fly fishing can be very pro-
ductive.
ALSEA RIVER: Cutthroat
trout
The cutthroat trout sea-
son is now open for the
season and anglers should
have fair to good results in
most of the larger tributar-
ies and mainstem. Small
spinners are typically pro-
ductive as wells as small
spoons or fly fishing with
nymphs or streamers.
SALMON RIVER:
Cutthroat trout
Cutthroat trout are now
open to harvest. Typically
good fishing can be had
during the early part of the
season. Using small lures
like spinners, spoons or
various flies can be pro-
ductive.
SILETZ RIVER:
Steelhead
Summer steelhead fish-
ing is slowly starting to
pick up. New fish will con-
tinually be moving into the
river over the next few
months with the peak num-
bers typically in July. River
flows are much lower than
normal for this time of year
so think small and subtle
presentations. Typical
steelhead tactics apply
such as bobber and jig /
bait, or casting spoons or
spinners. Cutthroat trout
are now also open to har-
vest and can be found
throughout the main stem
river and many large tribu-
taries.
WILSON RIVER: steel-
head, Chinook, cutthroat
Spring Chinook fishing
is slow in the low clear
water. A few more fish are
showing in the river.
Summer steelhead angling
is slow also. Angling for
cutthroat trout should be
fair. Use lighter gear for
best results.
YAQUINA RIVER: cut-
throat trout
The cutthroat trout sea-
son has opened and anglers
can expect to have fair to
good fishing. The main-
stem Yaquina and Big Elk
Creek are good places to
try casting small spinners
or spoons as well.
