Steelhead
While Lincoln City isn't known as a Steelhead mecca, the Siletz River, which empties into Siletz Bay near Lincoln City, does offer opportunities for anglers seeking these powerful fish. The key to success here is understanding the river's conditions and timing your trip accordingly. The best time to target Steelhead is typically during the winter months (December through March) after a period of heavy rain, when the fish are moving upstream to spawn. Focus on areas with deep pools, riffles, and runs, as these provide ideal habitat for Steelhead. Natural presentations, such as drift fishing with salmon eggs or nymphs, can be highly effective. A local tip is to pay close attention to water clarity, as Steelhead are more likely to bite in clear or slightly stained water. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any closures or restrictions before heading out.
