The premier freshwater
fishing spots in North Lincoln County are Devils
Lake, the Salmon and Siletz Rivers as well
as Schooner Creek an Drift Creek. Dedicated
salmon and steelhead anglers regularly land
big ones on the local rivers. Salmon of 50
pounds or more have been landed on the Siletz
Rivers.
The Oregon Department
of Fish & Wildlife stocks Devils Lake several
times a year with rainbow trout. In addition
to trout and bass, the lake also has a good
population of yellow perch, crappie, bluegill
and catfish.
If lake and stream
fishing sounds too tame, head out to sea on
a sport fishing charter boat or cast your line
from the rocky shore. The tuna runs of the
fall bring thousands of tuna fish onto the
decks of the fishing excursion boats.
