CHETCO RIVER: Winter steelhead
Rain this week has improved conditions only slightly. The river is still very low for this time of year for good fishing, so angling pressure is very light. Steelhead continue to move upriver and into tributaries to spawn, but anglers are having a tough time catching them.
Anglers are reminded that all tributaries to the Chetco are closed to fishing.

CHETCO RIVER: Winter steelhead
The river has been dropping into perfect shape for anglers. Steelhead are spread throughout the river, with new fish moving in with every tide cycle. No rain in expected for the next week so as flows continue to drop anglers will want to start fishing mornings and evenings when the sun is off the water and maybe even fish a lighter leader.
January is a very popular month so anglers should expect to have a lot of people and drift boats around.
