“Salmon fishing has slowed on the Chetco,” said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “After a decent weekend, catch rates dropped significantly to begin the week. A few late fish are expected after the next rain, but many anglers will turn their attention to the Dec. 1 steelhead opener. A few steelhead have already been released. 

The Elk and Sixes need a big rain event to jumpstart the action. Expect decent fishing on the Elk after the next rise to 4 feet. The river was 2.3 feet on Wednesday.”
