The Siletz River is approximately 70 miles long and drains
a good of the Oregon Coast Range between Newport and
Lincoln City.
 Very little of this river is in public
ownership, however, and abundance of boat ramps makes this
river very fishable for boaters. Most people fish for
salmon and steelhead in the fall and winter but, because
this is one of the few coastal streams containing summer
steelhead, some fishing occurs year around.
NOTE:
This river contains wild coho salmon that are listed as a
Threatened Species under the Endangered Species Act. Know
your fish well if you decide to fish this river or any of
its tributaries and help conserve this species. |
