The Chetco is low and clear, but with less pressure, steelhead fishing is decent reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Roe and Corkies are working for drift boaters and bank anglers, along with smaller MagLip plugs,” said Martin. “Rain isn’t expected until the end of the month, and it won’t be very much, but should pull in some new fish.

Plunkers are getting steelhead first thing in the morning on the Lower Rogue, but the action has been slow after the sun hits the water. Upstream near Grants Pass, fishing has been good for side-drifters. The Elk and Sixes are low and clear and difficult to drift.”
