2 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2015 On the Bite A WEEKLY FISHING REPORT FOR THE LOCAL REGION www.dfw.state.or.us/RR MID COAST LAKES: Fishing for the various warm water fish species is fair to good during the summer months. There are numerous lakes in the Florence area that can pro- vide good opportunity and have boat and bank access. SIUSLAW RIVER: Chinook, coho, cutthroat trout The cutthroat trout fish- ery is fair for sea runs in the lower reaches of the river and in upper tide water. Fishing during the early mornings or near the larger tributaries is the most productive. ALSEA RIVER: Chinook, coho, cutthroat trout Trolling, casting lures or bobber fishing are all pro- ducing depending on the section and conditions. Bank fishing near the Hwy. 101 bridge or up at the newly opened Don Lindly Park (MP 7 on Hwy. 34) can be good for both Chinook and coho. Cutthroat trout fishing is fair in the lower mainstem below the confluence with Five Rivers. With the low and warm river conditions the best opportunities will be in the early morning when water temperatures are the coolest. Small spinners are typically productive as wells as small spoons or fly fishing with nymphs or streamers. SALMON RIVER: Chinook, cutthroat trout Cutthroat trout fishing from upper tide water through the lower river can be effective during the early mornings with sea runs moving through this time of year. SILETZ RIVER: Chinook, coho, steelhead, cutthroat trout The fall Chinook fishery has been producing fair to good results in the lower bay up to the Chinook Bend area. Chinook can be found through the head of tide but still in small numbers. Trolling or bobber fishing through the high slack seems to be the most pro- ductive. The wild coho fishery continues through Nov. 30 with a daily bag limit of 1 adult coho and seasonal limit of 2 adult coho (in aggregate with other areas with the same bag limit.)
