Flows were down to 1,400 cfs on Wednesday, and the river is extremely clear according to Val Early of Early Fishing Guide Service. She said, “We are low and clear right now – very little flow. There are a few fresh fish coming in but they are really spooky. We are supposed to get a rise this weekend but we’ll see if that storm hits us enough.” As of Wednesday, rain is predicted to put the Chetco on the rise beginning Thursday and it’s forecasted to peak mid-day Saturday at 6,200 cfs.
