Platinum Kings Continue to Dominate the Catch on the Elk & Sixes Rivers near Port Orford
We continue to yard some deep-bodied Chromeballs from the famed Elk & Sixes Rivers on Oregon’s beautiful South Coast! In addition to the big Kings, we also landed our first Winter Steelhead of the season just this past week.
Our 2016 Salmon Fishing so far on Elk & Sixes Rivers has not been disappointing!
Come join us for a memorable drift down the Elk or Sixes. These hot fish definitely leave a mark!
Why do we Fish The Elk & Sixes Rivers?
Hard fighting, chrome bright, line burning, relentless demons, chock full of piss & vinegar. That’s why we come to fish the Elk & Sixes Rivers. We catch these gorgeous mint fish often just a mile or two from the ocean.
As the high water levels in most of our Coastal Rivers drop, Fall Chinook fishing in the free-flowing sections has improved
Mark & Jeff hold a couple beauties we hooked on our “high water drift” on Friday. One of the six hook-ups included a powerful beast that continued to run and hold in fast water. After a good half hour battle, we ultimately had to move down around a point to find water soft enough to bring it to net.
Siuslaw Salmon Fishing
We have begun our coastal salmon trips for Fall 2016. Trolling the Bays and the lower reaches of our coastal river is often the ticket to finding beautiful big fresh Chrome. This fortunate guest was blessed with a Chunky Siuslaw Toad on Tuesday’s trip. Meanwhile, we continue to enjoy consistent success on our McKenzie River drift boat trips chasing down scrappy rainbows. Even novice fly fishers are doing well on the aggressive Rainbow Trout

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.

Bring on the Rain!
