MID COAST LAKES Stocking of the mid-coast lakes will start up again the first week of February. Check the stocking schedule online for dates and locations. Lakes that are scheduled to be stocked in February include: Alder, Dune, Carter, Lost, Elbow, Cleawox, Munsel, Siltcoos, Thissel Pond, Big Creek Reservoirs, Olalla Reservoir and Devils Lake. Warmwater fisheries are slowing down for the year as water temperatures cool down. SIUSLAW RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead typically show up on the Siuslaw River in December and peak January through March. Fishing has been fair so far this year but should get better as the season progresses into January. The river will be high and off color after this week’s rain- storms but will be dropping back into shape next week. There will be good opportuni- ties for boat and bank anglers around the popular Whitaker Creek area. Steelhead fishing has been slow so far this sea- son but should pick up with forecasted rainstorms. SILTCOOS & TAHKENITCH LAKES: Coho Coho fishing closed Dec. 31 in Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes but both will be stocked with trout in February. Check the ODFW website online for stocking dates and locations. TENMILE LAKES: Trout, warmwater species, large- mouth bass bass anglers will need to slow down their pre- sentation as the water tem- peratures continue to drop. Anglers are catching most of the bass along the deeper weed lines and submerged trees. Yellow perch are cruising on the deep-water mud flats. Most of the fish are under 10-inches long but anglers are catching a few 12 inch-plus fish. Trout anglers continue to troll for trout. A few trout have been caught on bait by anglers targeting yellow perch. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: Steelhead The mainstem South has reopened. Fishing usually picks up in January and there should be a few around in the lower sections. The river may be in decent shape with some rain in the forecast. Make sure to turn in snouts from hatch- ery fish for a chance to win a gift card. ALSEA RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fishing has been fair over the last few weeks. After the recent rain- storms anglers caught fish throughout the system, all the way up to the hatchery locat- ed on the NF Alsea.
