Winter Fishing

It has been quite some time sense I have had time to up date my fishing report.. So here we go...

It was a great fall Chinook Salmon run on the Oregon coastal rivers, many people reported multiple fish days on the Siuslaw, Umpqua, Coos, Alsea and the Coquille Rivers. Plug cut herring, trolling, and of course bobber and eggs up in the tide water were successful. I have been getting adult Chinook Salmon on the Alsea and Siuslaw Rivers late in the season, in fact I got a nice bright Chinook last Saturday on the Alsea River. Lots of silvers and Choho on the coastal rivers.

Last January we got a nice bright silver on Lake creek a feeder of the Siuslaw system. I know of a good batch of Steel Head being caught on the Umpqua as early as the 1st week of Oct.

Now that I have put my Chinook rods away its time to start picking on the Siuslaw, Alsea and Umpqua Rivers. After our next good rain these rivers should fill up with the steelhead. It has been my experience that the first big run of fish shoot strait up stream and seem to slow down close to their release points. I will fish with plugs and floats and as the water gets a little off color use a diver and bait with a good sand shrimp always seems to find the mouth of a nice steelhead.

Good Luck. Make room for everybody... And its ONLY A FISH

Sand Shrimp can be found at Mazama's and the Chevron on Green Acres Road

Harmless
