Prepare to fish the Elk River
With good numbers of Chinook staging in the mouth and the first few holes, the Elk River is ready to start off with a bang. Many fishermen still are fishing low, but the majority seem to be waiting for more rain to open the river. These fishermen reported catching more jacks along with adult salmon. When the river begins to rise, the Elk River Hatchery will have a recorded update on the river levels, and you can call (541) 332-7025 for the update. The lower Sixes River also is full of fish waiting to move up river when we get some more rain.
