“After cresting at 20,000 cfs at the beginning of the month, the Chetco was down to 2,750 cfs on Tuesday, perfect for late-season salmon and early steelhead,” said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “A handful of adult winter steelhead were caught over the weekend by plunkers, while fresh salmon are few and far between. Peak season for steelhead begins in January, but fishable numbers of steelhead are common in mid to late December.”
