Salmon River

[foxer]

What are people fishing for above the hatchery, steelhead? I have seen cars/fisherman quite a few miles above there lately..

Nope, no steelhead in there.

The Salmon RIver near Riggins gets a ton of springers, but you'll have to wait till late April or early May. Still yarding in the steelies there too. Yeah I know, us Spuds don't know jack for salmon or steelies... :grin:

[Born to be Wild]

The Salmon River in Lincoln County doesn't get springer's but only wild and hatchery fall chinook.

It also get's some hatchery coho and some non fin clipped coho :grin: also.
They might be wild but I don't think they are native.

It also is being managed for wild winter steelhead only which started approx. 6 or 7 years ago.

That's what they would be fishing for and it does get some hatchery stray's so you can keep a steelhead every now and then.

I believ there might even be a few wild summer chum's in there.

I caught one in the Siletz last summer.

Do they get springers there and if so when do they start.

If you're talking about the Salmon River near lincoln city, I don't beleive so. Only fall chinook. I may be wrong though, but i'm probably mistaken. :grin:
