Where to catch Salmon or Steelhead from the bank in the Siletz Bay & Siletz River
The Siletz River has been described as “a fine all-around stream” with reasonable accessibility. Sport fish include fall chinook salmon, summer and winter steelhead, and coastal cutthroat trout. Fishing by boat is most common because nearly all the banks are privately owned.
In the lower part near iver near the bay, Silietz Boats Rentals rents boats and fishing equipment.
Bank Fishing
There are very limited places to bank fish in Siletz Bay. But one is where the river runs into the Bay. Since all the fish must come through this narrow channel, it is an excellent spot to bank fish.
Bank Fishing
The lower Siletz River is famous for anyone wanting to fish for salmon. It runs alongside the Silietz Federal Refuge and has a spring and fall run of Chinook salmon, coho, steelhead, and cutthroat trout. The refuge offers bank fishing from the Alder Island Nature Trail.
This easy, half-mile walking trail winds along the Siletz River and Millport Slough. Parking and bank fishing are available from sunrise to sunset. Dogs are NOT allowed on the nature trail.
