A
WEEKLY
FISHING REPORT FOR
THE LOCAL REGION
www.dfw.state.or.us/RR
MID COAST LAKES:
Rainbow trout stocking
is underway in many loca-
tions along the mid coast.
Look at the stocking report
to see the full stocking sea-
son.
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species
tends to be slower during
the winter month but can
pick up quickly as spring
nears and fish move to the
shallows for spawning.
There are numerous lakes
in the Florence area that
can provide good opportu-
nity and have both boat
and bank access.
SIUSLAW RIVER:
The river basin is closed
to all fishing above the
head of tide and will
reopen for cutthroat trout
fishing on May 22.
ALSEA RIVER:
Steelhead
Winter steelhead fishing
is slow. This time of year
does tend to be dominated
by more wild fish and post
spawn run backs. Casting
spinners / spoons, floating
bait or a jig, or bouncing
bottom with an egg pattern
are good options.
