week on the popular NF
Alsea bank fishery as
the river levels drop
back into shape.
The dry weather in
the forecast will keep
the river on the drop
and fish moving
through the holiday
weekend. Conditions
will be good for the
drift boaters later in the
week and into the
weekend. Fish are now
distributed throughout
the river and the num-
bers will increase with
each bump in river lev-
els.
Reminder: The popu-
lar winter steelhead
bank fishery around the
Alsea Hatchery remains
open but the hatchery
grounds are closed to
the public. Anglers are
required to park in the
designated parking lot
to access the river and
are not allowed to park
near or enter the hatch-
ery grounds. Please be
respectful of the hatch-
ery staff and follow
these rules to ensure
this popular fishery
remains open for the
2020/2021 season.

fishing is open on the
Salmon River and
should start to pick up
later in December and
into January. The peak
for winter steelhead on
the Salmon River is typ-
ically January to March.
Note: The Salmon River
hatchery remains closed
to walk in anglers.
Anglers can use access
points upstream and
downstream of the
hatchery to access those
traditional fishing loca-
tions.
SILETZ RIVER:
Winter steelhead
Winter steelheading
has been slow on the
Siletz River due to the
high unfishable water.
The dry forecast this
week has the river
dropping quickly into
shape creating great
conditions for the first
good push of winter
steelhead for the sea-
son. Expect fish to be
distributed throughout
the system once the
river levels recede. The
typical peak for Siletz
winter steelhead is
January to March.
The 4-mile bridge
(aka Steel Bridge) in the
Siletz gorge is open to
motorized vehicles on
the weekends only.
Anglers can walk/bike
in the road during the
weekdays. There is a
parking area located at
the 1-mile gate where
anglers can walk/bike
upstream from there.
WILSON RIVER:
Steelhead
The Wilson’s return-
ing hatchery steelhead
run is all “broodstock”
hatchery fish, meaning
their origins are Wilson
wild steelhead. As such,
their run timing mimics
that of the wild run,
which peaks January
through March. That
said, there should be a
few fish around as the
Wilson drops back into
shape.
YAQUINA RIVER:
Winter steelhead
Winter steelhead will
start to show up in the
Yaquina/Big Elk in
December and typically
peak from January to
March.
COOS RIVER
BASIN: Marine perch

head
The lower Coos Bay
estuary has been a little
rough from the recent
ocean swells but anglers
can still catch rockfish
along the jetty and sub-
merged rock structures
when the bay is calmer.
Smaller jigs with a
twister tail or 1-ounce
jigging spoons have
been working to catch
rockfish and greenling.
The daily bag limit for
marine fish was recently
increased to 7, which
for boat anglers cannot
include any copper,
quillback, China rock-
fish or cabezon.
Bank anglers can
still retain one copper,
quillback or China
rockfish and 1 cabezon
as part of their daily
bag limit. Boat and
bank anglers are also
allowed 2 lingcod per
day.
Trout fishing in
streams and rivers is
now closed until next
spring.
TENMILE LAKES/
TENMILE CREEK:
Steelhead anglers have
caught a couple hatch-
ery steelhead on
