Fish Report

While trout fishing in the rest of the basin is closed, the Rogue and tributaries above Lost Creek Reservoir remain open year-round, with a retention limit of 5 trout. Stocked trout in this reach are not fin clipped.

The Hwy 62 webcam at Union Creek is always a good resource to check before driving up here. With spring conditions in the forecast, the water temperatures may start to raise a bit and putting some holdover trout that are still in the area on the bite. There are also brown and cutthroat trout that can be found in the tributaries above Lost creek Reservoir. 

More information on Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest lands can be found on their website or calling the RRSNF office. 

Stocking is not scheduled to begin until just before Memorial Day. All tributaries above Lost Creek Reservoir are open year-round with a 5 trout limit.

With very cold water, presentation is usually the key, get your bait down and free drifting with as little drag as possible. Also plan on fishing later in the day when temperatures may be warmer.
