RFGS Wishes Everyone Great New Fishing Adventures in the New Year
As we bid farewell to 2018, we’d like to wish everyone a Healthy and Peaceful New Year. May your fishing exploits involve some great new adventures this year. Here are a few photos from our late season salmon trips on the Elk and Sixes Rivers down on Oregon’s south coast. Both rivers continued to produce some very bright specimens that tested both skill & tackle. Some of our salmon catch even started behaving like their steelhead brethren, sporting acrobatic jumps and somersaults. A super fun way to finish off the salmon season. Winter Steelhead will now get top billing on […]
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.
WISHING YOU ALL FUN, GOOD HEALTH & CONTENTMENT IN THE NEW YEAR
As we slide into the New Year, our fishing focus transitions as well. Time to say Good Bye to our 2016 Salmon season and embrace the on-coming 2017 Winter Steelhead season. My guests yesterday who were out visiting from Texas got a taste for some winter chrome as we stumbled into several fresh winter-runs
March can be a Special Month for Winter Steelhead Fishing on Oregon’s Coastal Rivers
Large Winter Steelhead are often available in the Month of March. Once in a while everything comes together with dropping river levels after a freshet and even some sunshine can all cumulate into magical March memories. Meanwhile, such rivers as the Umpqua and the Columbia are among the large systems already producing the coveted Spring Chinook salmon.
Winter Steelheading Moves into Full Swing. Many Rivers will peak from late January through February.
Now that we have transitioned from Salmon fishing into our Winter Steelhead season, we are enjoying consistent steelhead action on our southcoast streams whenever river levels and conditions cooperate

As we sadly say goodbye to our Fall-Winter Chinook Season, we happlily transition into our Winter Steelhead Season. Roaring Fork Guide Service wishes you All the Best in 2015!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Dear Fishermen, Browsers and Viewers- Allow me a moment to wish you all a New Year filled with shared joy, adventure, great health and abundance …….. and perhaps a limit or two somewhere along the way. Our recent trip down the Main Umpqua River certainly substantiated all stories that the Lower Umpqua is loaded with cooperative chrome bright winter steelhead. While fish were being taken on a variety of methods, side drifting yarnballs certainly appeared among the most productive ways to tangle with chrome. We did observe one group of anglers holding a very popular slot enjoying repeated hook-ups […]
Elk-Sixes River Rise Provides Epic Fishing – Short but Sweet!
A recent rise in the river levels on the Elk and Sixes Rivers last week resulted in some spectacular action on chrome-bright chunker Fall Chinook. Unfortunately, the water levels receded just as fast and the rivers returned to the low and clear conditions which preceded the rains. The first winter steelhead on Elk River has already been reported in the catch. In stark contrast to her rather quiet and reserved husband Cecil, my guest Julie is hardly known for silence when she’s got a fish on. I in fact got a few comments later that day like ” that […]
