Paulina fished good today - roads are open as far as I know

That is a tall order - but sounds like 'grandpa' has it covered ... The Umpqua has changed since I grew up there... They quit stocking trout mostly and the smallmouth were found in the South. Now days the South is the place to fish for 'hatchery' steelhead - and with the Rock Creek hatchery...

Fished Paulina yesterday - Ramp at campground and the one at Little Crater are good for bigger boats (mine is an 18) We fly fished around and got some takes on a mosquito wet looking fly - fished dry. Heard (Fly Fishers Place - Sisters) that they have had success on grasshoppers (mine flew out...

I was thanking that also - lots of spots

Upper Deschutes, Lava Lk, Wickiup, Crane Prairie, East and Paulina, Prineville, Crooked River, Fall River - thanks will try to fill in some for the members

nothing on east side or lakes or do we just type in water body?

Like s3an said I would jig rig and hook through the front with hook up - kinda weedless - run them like a Rapala - match the sizes of this years minnows for fall fishing.....good all year really

Now that it is cooling the magic time of the year is upon us as troutdude said - cooler water will bring the fish shallower and they will be getting ready for winter also some start their spawn so that triggers egg eating and putting on weight

Umpqua is within an hour - warm this time of year tho -

It means that you you can only fish it with flies or lures......the exception would say it is closed or bait is allowed also if the limit is different

Haven't fished the Rogue lately but that time of year from the dam to outside Medford is fly fishing only as the salmon are spawning which means the steelhead are right behind (literally) them. So that means egg patterns and salmon fly larva (heavy) there was a fly shop in shady Cove that can...

A few years ago I checked with the restaurant at Kellogg and they had a guy across the bridge that would do it - sorry I don't know if the place is still open as it was for sale but worth a try -

Fished both a long time ago - but like you I have been having a hankerin for some striper action = that being said ther is some UTube videos about guys catching some shad up river and then using them for cut bait- I heard that the shad were up by Yellow creek and the video looked like the guy...

Last I saw on the internet it was 1200+ and Prineville Res was 100% so what comes in will go out plus the Res was muddy,,,haven't been out there tho so 2nd hand info
