almost all be in that size

Trout stocking is complete
in the other North Coast lakes,
but there are still hold over
trout available and winter can
be a great time to fish for them
as these trout will be larger
now, and getting hungry. The
trout stocking schedule for
2017 is available online, and
printed versions will be out
soon.
River. Daily and annual bag
limit on wild winter steelhead
are 1/day and 3/year.
Casting spinners, drifting
bait or using a bobber and jig
can be effective.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead
The river is shaping up after
last week’s rain. Steelhead
fishing is fair. Drift boaters are
having fair success from
Moonshine Park to Siletz and
bank anglers are catching
hatchery fish in the Siletz
gorge.
Casting spinners, drifting
bait or using a bobber and jig
can be effective.
WILSON RIVER: Steelhead
Fishing was slow on the
Wilson last weekend due to
high water and marginal con-
ditions. It should be dropping
into prime shape by the end of
the week and through the
weekend. There should be
plenty of broodstock hatchery
and wild steelhead around, and
there have been some big fish
coming off the Wilson this
year.
All the usual techniques
such as side drifting, float
fishing, drift fishing, or pulling
plugs or divers and bait should
be effective.
During high water use
brighter colors and larger pre-
sentations.
SIUSLAW RIVER: Chinook,
steelhead
The Siuslaw River and Lake
Cr. are open for hatchery win-
ter steelhead. Fishing is slow.
Casting spinners, drifting bait
or using a bobber and jig can
be effective.
MID COAST LAKES:
The trout stocking schedule
for 2017 is available online
and trout have been stocked in
some lakes. Fishing for the
various warm water fish
species will slow as water
temperatures cool. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can provide
good opportunity.
ALSEA RIVER AND BAY:
Let Paul show you a new car or truck.
Stop by today!
Steelhead
Steelhead fishing is open on
the Alsea River and listed trib-
utaries. The river is shaping up
after last week’s rain. Fishing
is slow. Alsea Hatchery is hav-
ing a below average return to
the hatchery.
Casting spinners, drifting
