Rain is falling today on the Southern Oregon Coast, which is good news for the Elk River. The river wa at 4.5 feet this morning and rising, and more rain is expected tonight.
The river will probably blow out, but will be fishable again Thursday or Friday at the latest.
Expect a bunch more salmon to shoot up the river as it begins to drop.
We fished the Elk several times the past month and caught plenty of nice salmon, many chrome bright. We were back-bouncing roe or pulling FlatFish wrapped with sardines.
