The Chetco is now closed for the season and reopens in mid-May, when sea-run cutthroat trout fishing is generally good reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Steelhead has been slow since early March, but peak season in January and February was decent,” said Martin. “Spring salmon fishing continues to be slow on the Rogue, but this week’s rains will give flows a much-needed boost. Expect good conditions this weekend.”
