With so much rain this winter, anglers have not had that many quality fish- ing days so get out there when you can because the next few weeks are typically peak sea- son. During higher flows, the Lake Creek basin tends to fish better and clear more quickly. Casting lures, bobber fishing or pulling plugs are good options. ALSEA RIVER: Steelhead Winter steelhead fishing is good with anglers doing well in the upper to mid river sec- tions. With so much rain this winter, many fish have pushed upstream quickly. During higher flows, the upper river fishes well. During lower clear flows, it’s better to focus efforts in the mid to lower river sections. Casting spinners / spoons, or floating bait or a jig are good options. SALMON RIVER: Steelhead Winter steelhead fishing is fair and fish can be found throughout the mainstem as river conditions allow.

SILETZ RIVER: steelhead Winter steelhead fishing is fair to good with both bank and boat anglers hooking fish through the mainstem as river conditions allow. The river should fish well most of this week. Side drift- ing, bouncing bottom or bob- ber fishing can be productive. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook Steelhead angling should be good as the river drops from recent high water. Fish are spread out through the system. Angling for Chinook is closed. An error in the 2016 Fishing Regulations mistakenly lists river as open for hatchery Chinook beginning Jan. 1; the correct opening date is April 1. YAQUINA RIVER: Steelhead The winter steelhead fishery is fair in the Big Elk and should continue to produce over the next few weeks. Look for the next good rain to push in another batch of fish.

Last week 30 hatchery steel- head, that returned to Eel Lake trap, were stocked into Butterfield Lake to provide additional fishing opportunity for trout anglers. These steelhead stocked into Butterfield Lake are no consid- ered trout and may be harvest. The daily trout bag limit in Butterfield is 5 trout per day with only 1 trout over 20 inch- es per day. COOS RIVER BASIN: Dungeness crab, steelhead, bay clams Steelhead anglers are catch- ing lots of steelhead when con- ditions are right. With the recent rain the river might be fishable today but too high and muddy tomorrow. Anglers are catching steel- head drift fishing corkies or eggs. Jigs fished under a bob- ber area also catching several steelhead.

There will be excellent hatchery steelhead harvest opportunities on the South Umpqua as the season pro- gresses, especially around Stanton Park in Canyonville. WINCHESTER BAY: Bottomfish, perch Fishing for bottomfish in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful. PACIFIC OCEAN and BEACHES: Bottomfish, Dungeness crab Recreational harvest of crab is open along the entire Oregon Coast. It is still recom- mended you discard the crab viscera (guts/butter) before cooking. Fishing for bottom fish is open to fishing at all-depths. Fishing for black rockfish and lingcod continues to be very good from Charleston to Bandon when the ocean is calm enough for anglers to get out on the water. The marine fish daily bag limit is seven fish and a sepa- rate daily limit for lingcod (two). Anglers can only keep 3 blue rockfish and 1 canary rockfish as part of their daily limit and there will be no har- vest of China, quillback, or copper rockfish. Retention of cabezon is prohibited through June 30. B OTTOM F ISHING Cabezon retention is pro- hibited through June; this is an annual seasonal closure. The few boats that were able to get out of Newport last week had limits of large rock- fish and nearly one lingcod per angler. Effort in other places was limited due to rough seas. There’s a new rockfish on the block. Deacon rockfish is a newly identified species that was formerly referred to as the solid version of blue rockfish. What does that mean for you? Nothing in 2016. Every rule that refers to blue rockfish (like the daily bag limit of 3) now applies to blue rockfish and deacon rockfish com- bined. S HELLFISH A couple of regulations were inadvertently left out of the 2016 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulation booklet: (1) The daily bag limit for shrimp (edible) is 20 lb. in the shell; may be taken by traps, pots or rings. (2) Each razor clam dig- ger (as with all clams) must have his or her own container, must dig his or her own clams, and may not possess more than one limit of clams while in the digging area (except under a Disabled Clam Digger Permit). Current shellfish harvest closures in the ocean and bays due to elevated levels of domoic acid as of Feb. 1: Razor clams: Closed south of Tillamook Head Bay clams: Open coast- wide Crabs: Open coastwide Mussels: Open coastwide
