Winter fishing on Siletz River
The Siletz has a winter steelhead run as well as its summer fish. Storms bring it up fast, and it drops and clears within a few days. Fish it on the falling side of a rise, when the water turns green.
Seasons, closed sections and permits are set by the state and change. Check the current regulations before a winter trip, and never trust shelf ice or a forecast for your safety.
