Sixes River Fishing Report

Anglers may now fish the previously closed section in the lower river. Anglers may find fish in all legal angling areas as Chinook have had a chance to distribute throughout the watershed. As stormwater levels recede, anglers will have a good chance of encountering some fish. One wild adult Chinook per day and 10 per year may be harvested. Please note that the Sixes River bag limit is part of an aggregate limit with Floras Creek and New River. See tables at the top of this zone update for details.
