The Chetco remained high the past week, but is dropping into shape for the weekend reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Expect a mix of fresh steelhead and spawned out steelhead, said Martin. “The run is winding down, mainly because of the prolonged high water in January. The Elk and Sixes fished over the weekend, as less rain fell in Port Orford compared to Brookings and Crescent City. Fishing was fair, with a fish or two per boat. The Rogue also dropped into shape Tuesday. The Umpqua continues to be the best bet for steelhead in the region.”
