ROGUE RIVER, LOWER: winter steelhead
Steelhead fishing was good over the weekend as numerous steelhead were caught by bank anglers. Public bank access is really good on the Lower Rogue from Quosatana Creek campground to the old Mill Site just above tidewater. Boat anglers can launch their boats at the Port of Gold Beach, Lobster or Quosatana Creek campgrounds. Some of the best methods are plunking a spin and glow from the bank or running plugs from a boat on the inside corners of the river.
Rogue River flows
ROGUE RIVER, MIDDLE: steelhead
Some winter steelhead have been caught in the Grants Pass area on yarn balls. Side drifted roe and back-trolled plugs are also catching fish. The river below Hog Creek is open for non-adipose fin-clipped (wild) steelhead but upstream of Hog Creek wild fish must be released. Beginning February 1, the river above Hog Creek will also be open for wild steelhead at least 24 inches in length. The flow at Grants Pass on Jan. 25 was 3128 cfs.
ROGUE RIVER, UPPER: steelhead
Steelhead are biting on nightcrawlers. Roe, puffballs, and plugs are also producing fish. As of Jan. 24, a total of 2472 winter steelhead and 2958 coho have been counted at Gold Ray Dam.
On Jan 25, the flow out of Lost Creek Reservoir was 1190 cfs and the flows at Gold Ray were 2489 cfs.
Anglers are reminded that even during high water and turbid conditions along most of the Rogue, conditions are usually good between Big Butte Creek and Cole Rivers Hatchery where reservoir outflows predominate.
ROGUE RIVER, ABOVE LOST CREEK RESERVOIR: trout
The Rogue River above Lost Creek Reservoir is closed to fishing. It will open again on April 24.
