like the Elk River or Sixes River may see their peak Fall
King runs in December or later.

Oregon Coast. The Rogue Bay begins its fishery in July and is
highly productive until early October. Kings stack in the calm tidal
waters where anglers troll for 20# to 50# ocean bright Kings.
Thousands of King Salmon are netted every year and the Rogue River Bay fishery is
one of the most consistent producers of fine eating King Salmon in the
world. The Kings here are 94% Wild Stocks with no restrictions on
harvest as the Rogue's Fall Chinook runs are considered some of the
healthiest runs in the country. Limit is 2 adult King Salmon per day
per angler while Rogue River Salmon fishing at Gold Beach Oregon.

adult King Salmon per day per angler.

small river system which is mostly accessed by drift boat. King Salmon are big

conditions are very weather related and it can be
crowded. There is a commercial airport at Crescent City Ca. only 30
minutes south.
Elk & Sixes River Fall Chinook Salmon - Oct. to Dec.
The Elk River and Sixes River are located just a couple of miles
north of Port Orford Oregon. Late Fall King Salmon run big and mean in these
two small coastal rivers. The salmon fishing on the Elk River is very weather
dependant. Storms can be sever and sudden, the Kings can be tough to land
and the action can be hard to believe. These salmon rivers are not for the
weather shy or timid. You may get weathered out but the combination of
challenge and reward makes these rivers a favorite with your guide.
