Fishing
from 1B
dog days of fishing:
• Fish early in the morning
when waters are cooler and fish
are more active.
• Look for fish in deeper water,
where it’s cooler.
• Focus on warmwater species
like bass, crappie, bluegill and
walleye.
• Travel to higher elevation
lakes and streams where the
water, and you, will be cooler.
• Consider a trip to the coast
where ocean and bay fishing
can be good throughout the
summer.' MID COAST
LAKES: Mid coast lakes
stocking schedule for this year
is posted online. Stocking of
mid coast lakes began in
February. Siltcoos Lagoon will
not be stocked this year due to
continued low dissolved oxy-
gen. Trout scheduled to be
released in Siltcoos Lagoon will
be diverted to Cleawox Lake.
In addition, fishing for warm-
water species such as bass and
other panfish should improve
through June as water tempera-
tures warm and these fish get
more active. Ollala Reservoir,
Mercer Lake, Siltcoos Lake
and Tahkenitch Lake have
warm water species available.

Lake, Siltcoos Lake and

SILETZ
RIVER:
Steelhead, spring Chinook, cut-
throat trout
Summer steelhead are in the
river. Fishing is good in the
lower gorge. Casting spinners,
drifting bait or using a bobber
and jig can be effective.
Spring Chinook are available
in the Siletz. Be aware of the
regulations for the Siletz, 1 wild
Chinook per day and two for
the season through July 31.

river opened May 22.
• Note: The 3.5 mile bridge
(aka Steel Bridge) in the Siletz
gorge is now open to motorized
vehicles, but is only open to
public vehicles on the weekend.
Anglers can walk/bike in the
road during the weekdays. If
anglers do walk in they can
park at the one mile gate and
start from there.

WILSON
RIVER:
Steelhead, spring Chinook, trout
Summer steelhead are pres-
ent in decent numbers. Low
clear water can make fishing
for summer steelhead challeng-
ing, but there can be some
good action at first and last
light, or on those drizzly over-
cast days. Concentrate on deep
pools and deeper riffles. Drift
fishing, spinners, and flies are
good choices. Light line, small
presentations, and fishing the
riffles and deep pools at first
and last light can increase suc-
cess.
There are still a few spring
Chinook available in the
Wilson River, although num-
bers will be very low, especially
considering the low runs we
are seeing on other basins.
Cutthroat trout can be found
throughout the river, with sea-
runs beginning to enter tidal
areas. Fishing should be fair to
good, with spinners or flies
good bets for success.

are having success using small
spinners or flies. Anglers can
use only artificial flies and lures
in streams above tidewater. The
daily limit for trout in streams

be 8-inches or longer.
Recreational fishing for bot-
tomfish is open in the ocean
along with bays and estuaries.
