From the top end of the Wild and Scenic there's lots of easy public access. The major exception to this is from Grants Pass to Gold Hill. That area, save for boat is really skinny if you're on foot. The one thing I strongly urge folks who are new to the Rogue is the get the "Streamtime" river map. Dated it may be, but its still dead on right down the the 1/10th of a mile. All the points have a short 'here's what you'll find' and even 95% of those are still accurate.

Thanks, Fred. I haven't been to the Chetco for fishing - frankly, 101 just south of Prot Orford freaks me out a little - but it's on my list. I'll look at it more closely, now.
Even when I lived up in the Seattle area we had 'Guy's Week' from California, Washington and Oregon. We'd fish with Denny Hanna and his son on the Elk/Sixes. Biggest Steelhead I've ever landed came out of the Six. 28# pounds, only one even close to that in all the years with a rod in my hand.
Know what you mean about 101 from (A)Bandon down; some parts of that are a bit dodgie even in a car. In a MH, even more so if you're not 'comfortable' with that kind of drive. There are a few bits of '199' from Grants Pass to the coast that have high pucker factors if your MH/toad is at about 50 feet long. Road was originally built as a military road (along the North Fork of the Smith River) and they blasted out 'just enough.'ray: ray: ray: ray: ray:
