River conditions have improved enough for anglers to start looking for steelead. This has been a tough year on anglers and the frequest storms. Sixes is a river that dirties up pretty quick with a rain event. Anglers will want to check flows prior to heading out. Anglers are reminded that the new Rouge-South Coast Steelhead Validation is required to fish the river. If an angler wants to keep a wild steelhead, they must also have the new Wild Steelhead harvest card.
