Where We Go Fishing
The rivers listed below are some of the Northern California favorites of Russell Fishing depending on seasonality, weather conditions, water levels and fishing productivity. There are also many other rivers in the great Northwest, and Russell will fish them if they warrant it during that specific season. Moreover, Russell will fish some little known creeks, streams and tributaries that other guides will not venture to.
The Klamath River
The Smith River
The Trinity River
The Mattole River
The Eel River
Approximately 200 miles long, the Eel River is one of the major river systems on the Pacific Coast and the third largest watershed in all of California. With 97 miles classified as Wild and 28 miles classified as Scenic the Eel River offers well known fishing opportunities with its fall and winter salmon and steelhead runs.

Weather Concerns
Sometimes the weather in the Northwest can put the brakes on a planned fishing charter in a specific area. But that doesn't stop us! Because we fish every day if it wont work in one place we will head to another. For this reason, when you book your Northwest fishing charter with Russell, only the most extreme circumstance will stop us - one way or another!
