Welcome to the Fishing Page

Florence fishing is year-round, it's everywhere, and it's a way of life. With the Pacific Ocean, Siuslaw River, 17 freshwater lakes , and 75 creeks ringing the area, you'd be hard-pressed to exhaust your options here, whether you're chartering a fishing yacht, hanging off a dock, or crawling through a mudflat.

Some of the best trout and bass fishing in the state can be found in the area's freshwater lakes, which teem with fish of all sizes. Huge salmon, trout, shad, large-mouth bass, catfish, perch, sturgeon, blueback, and steelhead pack the waters of the Siuslaw, testing the will and strength of the most serious of anglers.
