Salmon fishing has slowed in the Chetco estuary, but improved upriver in the tidewater, where gear restrictions limit anglers to bobber fishing according to Martin. “A mix of jacks and wild and hatchery adults are being caught. Flows came up Monday night enough to drift the lower river, although boats will likely be dragging bottom within a day or two. Roe and sand shrimp are working best.”
