“This week’s rain did little to boost flows on the Chetco, where steelhead fishing is fair at best, with a mix of hatchery and wild fish spread throughout the river,” said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “The river is driftable, but boats are scraping bottom getting downriver. With no major rain in the forecast, pressure has been light. The Rogue, Elk and Sixes also are low and clear, with slow fishing.”
