James Keeling Guide Service is an owner-run operation based at Crescent City, California, in Del Norte County at the far northern end of the state. Keeling has more than fifteen years of guiding behind him and works the cluster of salmon and steelhead rivers that straddle the California-Oregon line, selling days on the Klamath, the Chetco and the Rogue as well as the Smith. That range matters on this coast, where one river can be out of shape for a week after a storm while a neighbouring drainage fishes well. Pricing is published per angler on the company’s own site, with a fifty per cent deposit to hold a date, and both drift and jet boats are kept so trips are not limited to a single type of water.
