Siletz River Panning?

[BeaverBeliever]

Hey all! First post for me on this website.

Heading down to the Siletz River, from Portland, this weekend for some fishing. Rain forecast is not looking so good for using the drift boat (not enough rain). Therefore might have opportunity to do some panning if fishing is slow from the bank. I have not been able to find anything online about the Siletz for panning soooooo thought I would ask all of you Oregonians! Let me know if anyone has any suggestions for locations. Thanks!

fish the upper siletz all the time, but never thought about panning there. But I have seen lots of black sand there.

I grew up fishing on the gorge of the river near Logston, and tons of my family use to stay at Moonshine Park for two weeks every year. I have never heard of any Gold being found.
