Siltcoos/Takenitch lake?

Weather report looks promising.Thinking about checkin out one of these lakes on tuesday or wednesday. Anyone interested  in joinin us?
Probably arrive at 10:00 AM.Most likely will be tomorrow, im itchin to get out.

Here's the ODFW report:

Siltcoos and Tahkenitch Lakes (located just south of Florence along Hwy 101) are open to wild coho salmon retention through Dec. 31. The daily bag limit is one adult coho salmon and one jack coho salmon. Anglers are limited to retaining five adult coho, in combination, from Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes during the season. Some coho have entered the lake with fishing being mostly slow but fair at times. The fishery is anticipated to pick up following the next big rains. Trolling or casting lures and fishing bait from a bobber are effective methods. The coho fishing boundaries are as follows.

The waters of Siltcoos Lake open for coho angling are defined as that area upstream from the Highway 101 Bridge and downstream of the railroad trestle on the Maple Creek arm and the Fivemile Road crossing on the Fiddle Creek arm.

The waters of Tahkenitch Lake open for coho angling are defined as that area upstream from the Highway 101 Bridge and downstream of the first road crossing on the Leitel Creek arm and the ODFW Marker at the bridge on the 059 Road just west of Douglas County Road 49.


This report was before the big rains we had....

I drove back and forth during those big rains, wasn't what I'd call a fun drive.

I'd like to get out on Takenitch just to see that odd floating house by 101.

Unfortunatly, with thanksgiving around the corner, that's just not gonna work out.

had to wait till tomorrow to go to the lake. 90% sure gonna be goin to Siltcoos.

  I was reading in my dunes lake map that small boats can be portaged around the small dam on the siltcoos to reach the lower river, Very interesting. This sounds like a promising yak fishery. Has anyone fished this river yet? I'll check it out and report back tomorrow.

See ya on the water..

Fished Siltcoos on Wednesday. No fish caught, cause i didn't really know where to go as it was the first time on this lake, don't have my finder rigged yet and nobody was launching at the time i did to ask. Got a late start so i didnt get a chance to check out the portage around the dam either. On my way out i talked to a couple people and got an idea where to go for next time, which might be today. There are some cohos being caught, nothin spectacular..
