CHETCO RIVER: cutthroat trout

Rain and cooler water temperatures should make for some good fishing conditions. This is a good time of year to look for cutthroat in the estuary. The estuary has very little bank access. Please be mindful of out-migrating salmon and steelhead smolt. If you catch these young salmonids, consider switching to barbless hooks and/or moving to a new location. Last updated 6/03/2026
