Hello fishermen; The fishing has been pretty good on the Smith and Chetco River this past week. At least we are fishing again. The storms that came through put the rivers out for over a week. So we were watching a lot of water go by and fish that we were not catching. Now we have good conditions and catching a few fish. I have been fishing on the Smith and Chetco and averaging 2 to 3 fish a day. All the fish I have been catching have been drifting bait and a puff ball. Most the fish have been around 8 pounds and a few over 10. I have not got any more big ones yet but I have seen a couple close to 20 pounds landed. The weather has been awesome, the sun has been out and we are in tee shirts by the end of the day. Just have to have a lot of clothes on in the morning. The only bad thing is that there are way to many boats out there. With the river coming down and getting clearer all the boats going over the fish is turning the bite off some. So if you are looking to go fishing just know there are a lot more out there with you. Hope to see you on river.
