Salmon fishing busted open over the weekend in the Chetco estuary according to Martin. “A dozen or more kings a day are being caught along the jetties, with more adult salmon showing in the catch than jacks,” he said. “The second half of the incoming tide is best. Drift boat fishing upriver won’t begin until there are significant fall rains. Salmon fishing has been hit-and-miss on the Rogue Bay, with good fishing over the weekend and slow action on Monday.”
