OREGON SPRING CHINOOK SALMON FISHING
Two of the most spectacular rivers in the country, the wild and scenic Rogue River in Oregon and the Klamath River in No. California provide the fisherman spectacular  salmon fishing and steelhead fishing, magnificent scenery, and thrilling whitewater. This first run of ocean-fresh spring Chinook salmon, known as "springers" to the enthusiast, make their run from April thru June. Fishing for "springers" offers the best of both worlds:  an explosive fight from an excellent eating fish!

OREGON FALL CHINOOK SALMON FISHING
First Run: This run occurs in the Rogue River Bay in July thru September. High concentrations of salmon, ranging 12-45 lbs.,  "keg up" in the bay waiting to migrate up river. This makes for exciting bite while trolling from our luxurious jet boat.
Second Run: The Elk, Sixes, Rogue and Chetco Rivers in southwest Oregon, the Smith and Klamath Rivers of  Northern California are second to none in the Pacific Northwest in fall Chinook salmon fishing opportunity. Jeff's knowledge of changing fish populations within the various river systems gives clients the flexibility to choose the most productive salmon fishing during November and December. The California state salmon record of  86 lbs was set on the Smith River!

WINTER STEELHEAD FISHING
Steelhead fishing opportunities abound on the Smith, Chetco and Rogue Rivers. The Smith River's natural fishery is one of its greatest assets, providing world class fishing on 175 miles of anadromous fish habitat and boasting the state steelhead record of 27.4 lbs.! We offer a unique raft steelhead fishing adventure on the Middle and South Fork tributaries of the upper Smith River.  Exceptional runs, inaccessible fishing areas, and minimal fishing pressure make this an unforgettable fishing experience. Drift boat fishing on the lower Smith and Chetco is fantastic! Due to the explosive nature of these fish, expect long runs and an aerobatic fight! These beautiful, silver, ocean-fresh fish average 7-12 pounds and range up to 20 lbs. Our season runs mid-December thru the end of March.
