CHROME COAST STEELHEAD

Visit us on the majestic Mendocino Coast to experience this wild edge of the world where our winter rainforest meets the ocean. For the few months of November through March, we have the pleasure of engaging in guided fishing trips to catch and release fishing with the wild coastal Steelhead as they migrate inland from the ocean waters each year. These remarkable fish travel thousands of miles to return to their native rivers here on the Mendocino coast. 


We actively support partnerships among private landowners, local timber companies, and state and private agencies on stream restoration projects ongoing along our coastline. Thanks to these funded efforts, our rivers have made extraordinary comebacks, with returning Salmon and Steelhead populations exceeding the agencies' expectations. 


During our fishing outings, we educate our clients and promote an aware approach on how to interact and where to target the amazing Mendocino steelhead fishing experience. Each river has its own dynamic character, requiring different strategies day by day. The clarity of the water, the river's current cubic feet per second (cfs), and the tides all play significant roles in determining when and how we engage with these rivers. 


These constant changes demand our attention and adjustments to effectively target these migratory fish. Such adaptability is crucial, as it leads to higher fish counts and satisfied clients.
