SILETZ RIVER: Summer steelhead, spring Chinook, cut- throat trout The Siletz River is open year-round for steelhead. Summer steelhead fishing con- tinues to be slow so far this season but did pick up last week with some better fishing. Although it has been a slow year so far, anglers are catching summer steelhead everyday primarily in the gorge area and pressure continues to be light. The 4.0 mile bridge (aka Steel Bridge) in the Siletz gorge is open to motorized vehicles, but is only open to public vehi- cles 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. Trout fishing is open. Check the regulations for open areas and gear restrictions.
