Oregon’s Elk & Sixes Rivers Continue to Crank Out Hard-Fighting Fatties
Due to recent rains the Elk & Sixes Rivers are enjoying sustained, reasonable water levels and the fish are responding favorably.
With rainfall and consequent rising rivers, our Elk-Sixes fishing for big Chinook has been anything but disappointing
Hank can certainly attest to the size and power of these late-run fish!
The Siuslaw River Continues to Produce some Beautiful Big Chinook
After losing a similar sized brute on his previous outing, Gary’s patience paid off as he tied into a massive beast while trolling the lower Siuslaw River on Tuesday
Lower Coquille Producing some Chromers
Ran a little Jet Sled trip on the Lower Coquille yesterday and the salmon cooperated. We hooked 3 chromers that made some hot little runs and certainly kept our attention up. Rumor has it, fresh barbecued salmon’s on the menu tonight
Coastal Rivers Including the Siuslaw & Umpqua are producing some Big Fall Salmon Already
Fun day on the Lower Umpqua launching out of Winchester Bay. Got into some Fatties (Fall Chinook) and even managed a few Dungeoness Crab to boot. Fishing should get better and better in the coming weeks as the run builds.

Fall Salmon Fishing is in Full Swing on Oregon’s Coastal Rivers
It’s that time of year when Fall Chinook and Coho are on the docket up and down the Oregon Coast. As the salmon stage in the estuaries in preparation for their upriver migration, it’s often a trolling game. As rain arrives and river levels climb dramatically, focus often changes to the free flowing waters well upriver of the tidal influence. Suddenly the drift boat becomes the craft of choice as fishermen row their way from salmon hole to salmon hole. As fish sense proximity to their natal spawning grounds, the bite can be ferocious with unnerving urgency and focused […]
Elk & Sixes Rivers Continue to Produce after each New Splash of Rain
The rain which pulls our salmon from the Pacific Ocean into their natal streams has been all too absent this fall season.

Since an inch or two of rain may only result in a couple days of good fishing, timing becomes everything. Sustained wet weather that keeps the river level up with […]
