On the Smith River, our guides have special-use permits from the US Forest Service to launch at the Forks, and drift through Redwood National Park.

By September and early October, big numbers of king salmon were staging in the Chetco River estuary, waiting for fall rains. Mick, Rye and Sam had good seasons trolling the estuary with their jet boats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first fall rains arrived, big numbers of salmon moved upriver, into the tidewater and above. We used drift boats to fish the river above tidewater in late October, catching salmon on roe and sandshrimp suspended above the bottom with bobbers. After heavy rains in early November, there was a week of good fishing with plugs and back-bouncing roe, but the majority of the run quickly moved upstream and spawned. There also were a few weeks of good fishing on the Elk and Sixes rivers. Capt. Sam caught our big fish of the year, a king close to 45 pounds caught and released by a young angler from Washington State, Austin Han.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wildriversfishing.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/imagejpeg_1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wildriversfishing.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/imagejpeg_1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wildriversfishing.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/imagejpeg_1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wildriversfishing.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/imagejpeg_1-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Capt.
