Guided Coastal Fall Kings (Chinook) Trips

Coastal Fall Kings (Chinook)

I fish the Chetco, Elk, and Sixes Rivers in late October through mid December. The coastal rivers depend on good, heavy rains to bring these fish into the systems. These rivers have a healthy return of native and hatchery fish. Pulling Kwikfish, back-bouncing and side-drifting are all good techniques for these fish. They average 20 to 25 pounds with many fish caught in the 30s and 40s. Also, being so close to the ocean, these fish are great table fare!
