2025 Siltcoos/Tahk Lake Coho Thread

Once again, as we approach Oct.1, it's that time of year when coho fishermen all around the Florence area (and beyond) are heard to say..."Is the Siltcoos dam open yet?"

Good summer weather here, cool with lots of clouds and coastal drizzle, Siltcoos and Tahk are both at what I would call 'normal' levels for late September.  Expecting a decent amount of rain early next week, should bring an explosion of mushrooms and perhaps start bringing up the lakes. 

Pepper and I will be visiting the lakes often to check the water levels, I will post updates on that.  And the first nice day after Oct.1, I'm going to take her along for our annual "Opening Day" outing to Siltcoos, just not on Oct.1 this year due to stormy weather.  She's doing really well and I'm hoping can stay on the kayak and enjoy a bit more time out on the water with me.

The Tahk launch on 101 is still closed but the one just 1/4 mile away at Tahk Landing campground is open, just requires any of the federal passes.

Hoping for 'big' things from the coho at the lakes this year based on what I've been hearing about ocean conditions and coho fishing.   

cheers, roger

 

As always, I super appreciate the info and updates on the lakes this time of year! Thanks Roger!
