Steelhead fishing has slowed on the Chetco, although a mix of fresh and spawned out fish are still around reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Boat pressure is light, making for an enjoyable day on the river,” said Martin. “Flows will continue to drop through the month, but the entire stretch from the South Fork to Social Security Bar will be driftable this weekend. 

After an early push of springers, salmon fishing has slowed on the Rogue. A fish or two a day are being caught for a couple dozen boats fishing the lower river. Plunkers are getting a fish or two as well on the lower river gravel bars, but catch rates are slow. The next major rain will bring in more fish.”
