Low, clear water has stalled late-season salmon fishing on the Elk, Sixes and Chetco, as well as the start of steelhead fishing, but rain over the weekend could give just enough of a boost to make side-drifting worthwhile reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Steelhead season opened Dec. 1, as well as the upper section of the Chetco above Nook Creek,” said Martin. “Salmon fishing has been slow the past week. Flows are expected to jump from 500 cfs to 1,500 cfs or more next week, if the forecast materializes. King tides this week could draw in late kings on the Elk and Sixes.”
