Sometimes waiting for perfect conditions is not the answer. These guys enjoyed a stellar day steelhead fishing on Elk River under less than favorable water conditions.

Good steelheading was available on the lower ends of numerous coastal rivers and streams just prior to recent rains. As rivers drop subsequent to those rains, there should be some new arrivals, and there should be fish spread throughout the systems. TIME TO GO FISHING!

Bright Hopes & Best Wishes to you in 2009

Our late-arriving Fall season is affording us additional time to get out and appreciate the vivid colors of Autum.  Make it a point to head out and enjoy the season!

Our current rainy conditions should finally bring in some new Fall Chinook  and Coho into our coastal rivers and streams.

Oregon's midcoast rivers are finally coming into ideal drift-fishing levels.  After a lengthy wait for high waters to recede due to appreciable snow and rainfall, our coastal waters should be in excellent condition by mid week.
