Well now, if yer headin’ to the Siuslaw River for some fishin’, there’s a few things ya gotta know. That river ain’t like any ol’ creek down the road. It’s a mighty place, and if ya know when to go and where to cast yer line, you might just reel in somethin’ big! The river’s been busy with fish movin’ in and out, so let me tell ya a little about what’s goin’ on right now.
First off, it’s still early in the season, but don’t let that fool ya. With the rain we’ve been havin’, the fish are already takin’ advantage of the fresh water. They’ve been movin’ quick through the tidewater and up into the upper parts of the river. So, ya best be ready, cause those fish won’t be sittin’ still for long. The water’s been nice and high, and that makes it just right for fish like the steelhead and trout.
Now, if yer wonderin’ where the best spots are to fish, I got a few ideas for ya. Down by Florence, there’s a good stretch where the fish like to hang out. That’s where you’ll find some of the best fishin’ spots in the Siuslaw. Ya might wanna try the Florence Uscg Pier. It’s a popular place for fishin’, and folks say the fish are fairly active around there. Just keep yer eyes peeled and your line in the water.
And let me tell ya, the Siuslaw is open for trout fishin’. Yessiree! You can get out there and catch yourself a good mess of trout. The water’s in good shape for it, thanks to all the rains, and them fish are up for grabs. I’d say, get out there early in the mornin’, before the sun gets too high, ‘cause that’s when they’re most likely to bite. The fish seem to be all over the place right now, but with a bit of luck, you might just find the right spot where they’re gatherin’.
But, it ain’t just trout you’ll be fishin’ for. The steelhead’s still in season too, and with the rains, the river’s been just perfect for them. If you like the challenge of catchin’ a big ol’ steelhead, this might be the time for ya to give it a try. Just be patient, ‘cause them steelhead are tricky little devils. They don’t bite easy, but when they do, it sure makes the whole trip worth it.
Don’t forget, the Siuslaw is also good for salmon fishin’. Now, salmon’s got their seasons, and it’s open for Chinook salmon from August to December. If yer out there after one of them, you’re gonna need some patience, but when that big Chinook hits, it’ll make your day! But right now, the steelhead and trout are your best bet.
Now, as for the water itself, it’s important to pay attention to the tide. The Siuslaw’s got this tidewater situation where the fish move in and out with the changing tides. This means sometimes the fish will be right up in the marshes, and other times they’ll be deeper in the river. Keep an eye on that tide chart, and plan your trip ‘round the right times, ‘cause that’s when you’ll have the best luck.
If you’re thinkin’ about headin’ to the marshes, well, that’s a good idea too. There’s all sorts of fish in those restored salt marsh areas. You might even catch yourself some flounder or chinook, and if you’re lucky, you might reel in a coho salmon. Lots of folks have been seein’ fish like stickleback, cottids, and shiner perch movin’ around too. So, don’t be afraid to try a few different spots along the marsh, especially when the tide’s changin’.
And let’s not forget about the steelhead. If yer after them steelhead trout, you’re in the right place. The river’s in good shape for steelhead fishin’, with the water levels comin’ down just right after all that rain. If you’re headin’ out for steelhead, be ready for some waitin’ around. They’re not always easy to hook, but when you do, it sure makes it worth all the time you spent waitin’!
So, to sum it all up, the Siuslaw River is a great place to go fishin’, whether yer after trout, steelhead, or even salmon. The rain’s been doin’ wonders for the fishin’ conditions, and if you know when to go and where to look, you’ll be pullin’ in some nice catches. Just keep yer line in the water, watch the tide, and be patient – you’ll be fine. And who knows? You might just catch the fish of a lifetime!
