Humble Heron Fly Fishing

COASTAL CHINOOK

Location: Port Orford, OR

The Southern Oregon Coast offers many intimate rivers to fish on and explore. Port Orford is an ‘artsy’ and fishing community that is in river meca. From crystal clear blue waters to turbid emerald green the coast has many different options to meet your needs. The air is always kissed with a salty breeze, just being there you’ve connected before your rod is in hand. We offer guided raft and drift boat trips targeting Fall Run Chinook Salmon. There are both hatchery and wild fish in the river allowing for catch and release and harvest trips.
