Steelhead fishing has been fair on the Chetco, but slower than expected, with drift boats getting one to three fish per day reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Major rain is expected this weekend, with the river likely to be blown out all of next week, especially with melting snow after the rain,” said Martin. “The smaller rivers in Southern Oregon are fishing well for steelhead.
Expect the first springers of the season after the Rogue drops following next week’s blowout. Steelhead fishing is slow on the Rogue, but march generally has decent fishing before anglers transition to salmon.”
