| The Salmon season on Siltcoos will be off to a slow start because of toxic algea warnings caused by overdevelopment flushing nitrates into the lake.Soon the fall rains and colder temps will flush it out and the fishing should be great peaking around Thanksgiving,,,,FISH ON!!!!!!! ><> .It is one of the most unique fisheries on the west coast.6000 Salmon enter the lake yearly and average size for an adult fish is 7 to 15 lbs. with 25lbs.-5 1/2ozs. being the state record caught in 1966.I believe a new state record there is possible ,as last year a 22lb.coho was caught and weighed on offical scales just in case..><> ************************************************* Food for thought:The ratio of fishing to catching is directly porportioned to your skill level,persistance, processing of advice and luck!!! ***************************************************** FYI- A 16 in. Yellow perch would weigh approx.2-1/2 lbs.An 8 in. weighs 1/4 lbs. and At 12 in. it would weigh in at 1 lb.><> ***************************************************** Believe it or not!!!I spotted a white sturgeon close to 7 ft. in length surface 30 ft. from where I was anchored.Also I caught two nice flounder 15 in. long that made their way from the ocean over the fish ladders,and up the Siltcoos River into the lake.They took a worm fished on the bottom drifting .><> |
