The Chetco is the first Southern Oregon River. Starting in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness area of the Siskiyou National Forest and flowing into the Pacific at Brookings. The river, located 5 miles north of the Oregon Border, is a smaller coastal river with approximately 15 miles of fishing access. However, don't let its size fool you. It has turned out to be a favorite river for many of our guides and one of the most productive.
Steelhead averaging in the 6 to 10 lbs class. Ever year a few make it into the 20 pound class. Side drifting roe and pulling plus are our method of choice. The Chetco is a very well managed fishery and consistently has some of the most productive steelhead fishing on the North Coast.
