Seasons and Rivers

With the first springers entering the river in March, we start guided fishing charters out of covered and heated jet boat close to the town of Gold Beach.  Once the bulk of the fish make their way upriver, we begin our float trips in our custom designed Willie Drift Boats close to the town of Shady Cove. 

The Rogue Bay is a special fishery with ocean fresh Chinook salmon, concentrating in the bay for weeks to months at a time. With new fish entering daily, this can make for some hot action. Come aboard one of our Jet Boats and spend a day trolling for Kings. These fish range from 15 to 40 pounds and put up a great fight!

A Beautiful River with emerald green water and trophy sized King Salmon. The Chetco is known for fish over 40 pounds with most of the fish averaging 18-25lbs. Enjoy a relaxing day down the Chetco with a chance at a fish of a lifetime!

A small fishery flowing from pristine headwaters the Elk River is a bountiful fishery with a very active Hatchery program.  Large fish over 35 pounds are seen often, with most fish averaging in the 20 pound range. Come fish for a Elk River King out of our drift boats. 

The Sixes River shadows the Elk.  Only being a few miles away, they share similar looking fish but with a different view.  If the weather permits and good water conditions, the Sixes can give you a exceptional day of Salmon Fishing.  Back-trolling plugs and back-bouncing eggs on a small river is something worth trying. 

Ocean Salmon fishing out of Brookings Oregon can be some of the hottest action around.  With the opportunity of catching fish from several different rivers, schooling up before making their journey upriver.  With many large schools of bait typically anchovies showing up close to Brookings, could mean the bite is on . With large chinook chasing bait right next to the boat can make for a aggressive bite and some fast action. Trolling and mooching can be used to target these fish.
