bers of fall Chinook entering
the bays and estuaries to

niques include trolling herring/
spinners and bobber fishing
with bait.
• Note: Salmon fishing in the
Siletz river is closed above the
marker sign approximately
1,200 feet above Ojalla bridge
until Oct. 7.
Summer steelhead are in the
river. Fishing has begun to slow
down as stream flows decrease
and water temperatures
increase in the gorge.
Early mornings or late eve-
nings provide the best oppor-
tunity to catch these fish. The
fishing will improve when we
get some cooler weather or a
little bit of rain to “stir” things
up a bit.
Casting spinners, drifting
bait or using a bobber and jig
can be effective.

entering the lower river later
this month and into the fall.

If anglers do walk in they can
park at the one-mile gate and
start from there.
WILSON RIVER: Steelhead,
trout
Summer steelhead are pres-
ent, but it looks like numbers
are down a little this year.
There are steelhead sporadical-
ly throughout the system. Low
clear water and warm water
temperatures can make fishing
for summer steelhead chal-
lenging, but there can be some
good action.
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 success.
Warm water temperatures
can stress fish and increase
hooking mortality, so anglers
are encouraged to avoid catch-
and-release fishing during the
heat of the day.
Sea run cutthroat are in the
tidewater areas and beginning
to move upstream. We’ve had
reports of the fishing for them
being good this summer.
Spinners or flies are good bets
for success.

Trout fishing on Tenmile
Lakes has slowed down with
the best fishing is in the early
mornings. Anglers should
focus on fishing in deeper
water.
Fishing for largemouth
bass has been good with the
best fishing in the early

lures in the low light condi-
tions and anglers are switch-
ing to plastics and deeper
water once the sun hits the
water. Yellow perch fishing is
very good fishing on the
deep-water side of the weed
