Your getting pretty broad for your first trip fishing in Oregon, there is a big learning curve for each river, in order to be succesful you have to put a lot of time in to learn all the nitches for punching your tag. The Rogue that time of the year for chinook fishes in the lower river, and is not an easy bank fishing river, its all plunking down low. Trolling herring spinner rigs starts in mid July for chinook, and will go through august and into september, mid to late august being prime. The water coming off the rogue is in the mid 70's that time of the year, and those fish will not penetrate that warm water, and fallow the cold ocean water in and out of the bay feeding on bait fish, until the rain comes, and cools the river, then its a race.... I recomend a guide....
