Great day for viewing fish
8 Hour Trip – Chetco River on November 14, 20221 adult

Captain Austin was the best part of the trip. He knew where all the fish should have been. He thru everything at the fish they just weren’t bittin! We got to see some good size fish and we chased them around trying to talk them in to biting , they were not biting! It came down to this- it needs to rain more for the fish to start moving upriver. Thanks for Austin but he can’t make it rain. On another note your service could have told me about David Sooner and cancelling my trip.

Had an awesome day fishing with Captain Austin. He was very knowledgeable of the river and fishing techniques. Very comfortable boat ride. Got a lot out of the trip. My wife got her first steelhead, and he was a GIANT wild buck! A trip to remember!
