Folks have been doing well this fall season fishing for big, bright Chinook down near the mouths of the Elk & Sixes Rivers

Upcoming rains will soon raise river and stream levels in southern Oregon enough to allow boaters good access to the famous Fall Chinook fishery down on the Elk & Sixes Rivers. Don't miss your chance to book a trip for the opportinity to catch the fish of a lifetime. November and December are the best months. This fishery is followed immediately by the winter steelhead run which continues through March and provides great sport on most of Oregon's coastal rivers.

In recent weeks we have seen a huge percentage of Chinook Jacks in the catch mix in estuaries and rivers up and down the Oregon coast. This bodes favorably for next year's run of adult Fall Chinook! Meanwhile, silvers are making agreat showing as well, reflecting improved recent ocean conditions causing an upwelling of nutients which transitions through the entire marine food chain.
