Mother Nature Throws us a Curveball as the Elk & Sixes River Run High and Muddy
Thanks to recent storms, the Elk and Sixes Rivers are running high and muddy today. Due to the popularity of these two gorgeous south coast streams, fishing in late November proved a tad tougher than earlier in the season as fishing and boat pressure has increased dramatically. None the less, persistence and a tap from Lady Luck’s wand, continues to create special moments and lasting memories from this season’s Elk-Sixes fishing.

Elk & Sixes River Chinook Fishing – Crankin’ in the Big Boys
Fishing was great on the Elk & Sixes Rivers for a couple weeks or more while we had enough water in the rivers to invite the returning salmon and to float drift boats. While Seattle and Portland have been hammered with rain, recent storms have somehow missed Port Orford causing me to have to reschedule this weeks’ trips due to low water levels in the rivers. Bring on the Rain!
