Siltcoos Lake:
The largest lake on the central Oregon coast is also one of the region’s best fishing lakes, especially for warm water fish including largemouth bass.
It also is one of the few lakes in Oregon where you can keep a wild coho salmon in season.
Siltcoos Lake is a sprawling 3,164 acres located between Florence and Reedsport in the wonderful dune country of the central coastline.
Siltcoos is one of the most celebrated largemouth bass fisheries in Oregon and is among those mentioned in our article, Best Largemouth Bass Fishing in Western Oregon.
You’ll find tons of good bass cover all over the lake here, including fallen trees, drop-offs, points, islands and numerous coves and several longer creek arms. There also are some docks, especially where there are a fair number of private homes along the banks on the west and north sides of the lake, many clustered around the communities of Dunes City and North Beach.
Bass will often move up into the shallower water during the spring, when they spawn just off shore, and they can be aggressive then. They will stage a bit more off shore at other times.
Crappie also like to hang out around structure and may be found in shallower water during the spring. Sunken trees and pilings are good places to start.
Also, the lake is known to have good populations of less-pursued species including yellow perch, sunfish and bullhead catfish.
Trout are not the primary quarry for anglers here, but the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife does stock a modest number of rainbow trout here. Look for those plantings to take place in late winter or early spring (March and April are good times to check the stocking schedule linked below).
Native cutthroat trout also live in the lake and its tributary streams and may be kept as part of your daily trout limit.
The coho salmon fishery here opens in October and runs through December. Fishing for these fish is usually not productive until significant rainfall draws in these large fish, which most often happens in November.
There are a modest number of coho caught and kept here, but it’s a fairly unique opportunity. Boaters catch most of the adult coho, often by trolling wobbling lures in the creek channels the salmon use to return to their home streams.
What’s nearby:
This home is a quick drive from multiple access points to the Oregon Dunes and ocean beaches including the popular access just out South Jetty Road, and the city of Florence is five miles north. The charming Old Town section of the city is filled with lovely shops, cafes, galleries, and restaurants. You will also be minutes from numerous trailheads for hiking or mountain biking. The coastal forests flourishing in Douglas fir and Sitka spruce extend nearly to the Ocean. Some trails wind up, over, and through sand dunes, offering hikers the opportunity to experience the unique natural wonders of this area. Bring your camera! Paddle Siltcoos River between Siltcoos Lake and the Pacific Ocean. This slow-moving, three-mile river is so ideal for paddlers that it’s a designated Canoe Trail. Take a scenic drive up Hwy 101 to Heceta Head Lighthouse where free tours are offered daily. Get your adrenalin flowing on a nearby dune buggy tour or with an ATV rental, or go crabbing from the Siuslaw Bay public fishing pier at the end of South Jetty road where crabbing is excellent from late spring until the fresh water from winter rains force the crabs out to the ocean.

Wonderful place, very quiet and relaxing with beautiful views. It is a little ways from town through the trees out to the lake but that is to be expected with most lake properties. Fred Meyer grocery store in Florence is the place to go for any necessities.
We had an awesome time here - such a good location and you can't beat the view. Very comfortable stay with lots of space to spread out and amenities in the kitchen. We will definitely stay here again.

Thanks for sharing your great stay Amy, it was a pleasure hosting you! We hope you are able to make
it back to see us again.
This location and accommodations were perfect for our family retreat. The beach, dunes, and lake, offered something for every one to enjoy, and the home was very comfortable for our group of adults.
Location was very quiet with a great view and plenty of parking. House was stocked well and had the actual amenities listed when we booked it.

Jennifer and their group were very respectful guests, left the home tidy when checking out and great
communication throughout their stay. We hope they can come back soon!
This property is spacious and had a beautiful view of the lake with a nice outdoor patio for outdoor dining. Located in a quiet residential area away from the main part of town it was a great little getaway. The king bed was comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed
This house was perfect for our family. Set up very nicely with lots of amenities, well stocked kitchen, open floor plan. The deck with the view of the lake was stunning. We loved it so much we are going to try to come back again next year!
Had a great time at this house, watched movies, relaxed, did some star gazing and went to the dunes/beach. House was clean, beds were comfy and overall a fun mini vacation!
Clean, roomy, homey, comfortable, with a great view. Just wish the weather would have been better so we could have eaten on the deck overlooking the lake.
