FISHING GUIDE
CHETCO RIVER

Kirk Portocarrero enjoys offering guided fishing trips on the Chetco River in Southern Oregon, not only because it’s teeming with both king salmon and steelhead trout, but because the weather is just as beautiful as the views. As one of the top spawning areas on the west coast, the Chetco is both beautiful and productive when it comes to fishing. Surrounded by fir and redwood trees, the Chetco is one of Oregon’s longest undammed rivers and produces a number of trophy-quality fish each year.

With the amenities provided by our Fishrite drift boats, which include a heater and lots of storage, you’ll be able to truly enjoy floating the 15 mile stretch of river while taking advantage of Kirk’s intimate knowledge of the area. Try your hand at catching some fish, enjoying Oregon’s cooler weather, and soaking in some beautiful sunsets!
