  Fishing Oregon's Siletz River
Information source provided by the USFS

 
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.

 Directions: The Siletz River is paralleled for much of its length by Hwy 229 and County Roads 410 and 307. Hwy 101 crosses the river near its mouth.
Fish Species: Fall chinook salmon, winter and summer steelhead, cutthroat trout
Fishing Methods: Spin, Bait
Angling Season: Summer, Fall, Winter
Campgrounds: Within the first 4 miles after turning east off of Oregon Coast Hwy 101 there are 2 campgrounds right along the river. They are Coyote Rock RV Park and Chinook Bend RV Park. Also there are three state parks along the ocean offer camping in the area. Devils Lake State Park located a few miles to the north along Hwy 101 at Lincoln City has 100 tent/trailer sites, Beverly Beach located a few miles north of Newport has 279 tent/trailer sites, and South Beach located at the mouth of the Yaquina River at Newport has 260 tent/trailer sites. All three campgrounds have water, flush toilets, and showers.
