Steelhead
While not as widely known as other Oregon steelhead destinations, Newport offers opportunities to intercept these powerful fish as they migrate through the Yaquina River system. Winter steelhead are the primary target, with the season typically peaking from December through February. Focus your efforts on the lower reaches of the river, especially after rainfall when the fish are actively moving upstream. Drift fishing with bait, such as salmon roe or sand shrimp, is a popular technique. Spinners and spoons can also be effective. Access points can be found along Highway 20 and at various parks along the river. Be sure to check the current water levels and clarity before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly. A valid Oregon fishing license with a steelhead tag is required.
