Salmon fishing has been good in the Chetco estuary according to Martin. “Kings are also are being caught in the tidewater areas, where the river is under bobber-only regulations, meaning a bobber must be used and baits must be suspended off the bottom. In the estuary, trolling anchovies behind 360 flashers is accounting for most of the catches, with kings up to 40 pounds. The first half of the outgoing tide is fishing best. Roe and sand shrimp is working for bobber fishermen upriver. Big rains are expected next week.”
