Yesterday, the 29th of November, my clients landed two chrome bright king salmon on the Chetco. I had two other guides out and they also landed multiple bright fish. There are still a lot of new salmon in the Chetco, Smith, Elk and Sixes rivers, even though conditions are currently low and clear. Fishing is tough, but there are bright fish available.
Tonight it is raining lightly in Brookings. Heavier rain is expected tomorrow night through Thursday, which could set up prime conditions for this weekend on all the area rivers.Yes, it is late in the salmon season. Many of the kings on the Chetco and Smith have already spawned. But without a major blowout rain so far this season, there still may be a good group of salmon to come. We will find out this weekend.
If you want one more shot at king salmon this season, I have local guides available for the weekend and early next week.

For the past two weeks, we have been enjoying some pretty decent salmon fishing, despite the low water. Some of the kings have been pretty big, including a really nice 49-inch king caught and released last week by Matt Thompson of Prineville. The fish was around 55 pounds. The fish may have cut OK if we kept it, but I am glad my customers chose to let it go.
Steelhead are just around the corner. We may begin some winter lingcod trips in January.
Here are some of the photos from the past couple of weeks.
