A Legendary Lake for Fishing

One of only a few lakes in Oregon where anglers can target and keep wild coho salmon during season

Over a century ago, people came by train to fish at Ada Station

Siltcoos is Oregon's largest coastal freshwater lake, offering some of the most productive and scenic warmwater fishing in the state.

Coho Salmon
A unique feature, one of the few lakes in Oregon where you can keep a wild coho salmon in season. The Oregon state record coho salmon was caught on this lake!
Largemouth Bass
Siltcoos is considered one of the most celebrated largemouth bass fisheries in Oregon and is known for bass weighing up to 10 pounds.
Rainbow Trout
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife stocks rainbow trout in the spring, often including larger "trophy" trout grown to a bigger size before release.
Cutthroat Trout
Native cutthroat trout live in the lake and its tributary streams. The state record coastal cutthroat trout was caught here in 1984, weighing 6 pounds 4 ounces!
Brown Bullhead Catfish
Described as "formidable" fighters that provide excellent fishing opportunities, particularly appealing to anglers seeking a different challenge from the lake's more famous bass and salmon fishery.
Various Panfish
Black Crappie can be found around submerged vegetation. Bluegill are common in spring and early summer. Yellow Perch are popular with families and beginners.

Please be sure to follow all of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations. Licenses/Tags Available Online: MyODFW.com
