“Big numbers of jacks were caught on the Chetco Sunday and Monday before fishing slowed dramatically Tuesday as river levels dropped,” said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Lower river holes were plugged full of salmon before the weekend rains, and by Tuesday the fish appeared to have shot upriver. Fresh schools of kings moved into the tidewater on Tuesday evening. Heavy rain this week should result in prime conditions the beginning of next week. Ice Box is expected to open after the big rains. Launch permits are available at the Chetco Outdoor Store.”
