Winter steelheading continues to be slow on the Siletz but the dropping river level and ideal conditions should improve things later this week and into the weekend. Expect the steelhead fishing to pick up as the river drops back into shape and fish are on the move. Fish will now be distributed throughout the system from the lower river all the way up to the gorge as we approach the peak of the steelhead run in late February and early March.
The 4.0 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.
