Rains Bring Us Back to Fishing Southern Oregon's Rivers

Rains bring us back to work. We ended up getting a little bit of rain, and ODFW lifted fishing closures on the Chetco River, in Brookings Oregon, along with the Elk River and Sixes river near port Orford Oregon. Saturday the Chetco still had a few salmon. We caught a couple older fish, and one nice hatchery male that was new to the river.

After the Chetco had additional inch of rain that put it out of shape for a couple days, we headed north to the Sixes river where we enjoyed great weather, and several nice fish. With salmon season getting a late start we anticipate having good fishing for the rest of this month.
