Fishing the Smith River yester day was a great way to end a not so excellent year. The rains have finally come to the coast!! Fish are being caught on all the North Coast and Southern Oregon rivers. Some are clearly better than others but I feel this season is going to be a fishy one, with ample days to fish. Please come and join us for the new 2021 Steelhead season on our 21′ North River jet boat or our 17′ Willie drift boat.

Steelhead season is now in full swing! We have been getting decent amounts of rain since the new year. A new storm on Wednesday, appears to be bringing 1.5” to 2” of rain two the North Coast and Southern Oregon. With the past, and present precipitation, our local rivers have flushed out all the build up of debris, from the summer and fall. Clearing and equalizing quickly, our rivers should be ready to fish by the weekend or early next week!
We will be turning our sights to the Smith river first! This river clears faster than all of the surrounding local rivers on the North Coast and Southern Oregon. With river levels moving up and down the past week and for this following week, it should produce new fish in all the river systems.
We still have some available dates for this Steelhead season so, stay tuned for the weekly fishing report or give us a call for more information.

The rivers are in shape and the Steelhead are bitting! Fishing with Megan and Sherry of Arcata California, we put together a great day of Steelhead fishing.
There are still some days available for fishing! Give us a call or send us an email for more information.
Winter Steelhead
There hasn’t been much to report this winter for Steelhead due to the high amounts of precipitation. The rivers have been consistently dirty for well over a month now!
This week there was a small window on the upper Trinity! The fishing was not red hot but, every day we had a few opportunities and boated a fish or two!
Fall fishing is on fire
The Fall fishing has been strong for weeks now! The Trinity and Klamath Rivers are pumping out great numbers of Steelhead and Salmon. Steelhead are ranging from 3 to 10 lbs and the salmon are anywhere from 6 to 30 lbs! With preventive fish kill flows at 1000 cvs till the 22nd of september, it looks like there will be no fish kill this season.
Limits of Salmon are coming to the boat daily! There seems to be more wild Steelhead around then hatchery. One out of every 10 Steelhead is a hatchery fish! Fresh fish are pushing though the Klamath River mouth every day!
