Middle Rogue River Report

From the mouth upstream to Fishers Ferry boat ramp, wild Chinook are legal for retention after June 1. Anglers are reminded that fishing is closed from Rainie Falls to 400 feet below the falls, as well as the Gold Hill Boat ramp, upstream to the Gold Hill municipal water intake structure located above Ti’lomikh Falls. There are a few holes in the Gold Hill vicinity anglers target Chinook, but these don’t really get going until July. Salmon anglers via boat, are targeting the Gold Hill to Rogue River stretch.
Trout fishing is open. There is a 5 fish daily bag limit for adipose fin-clipped (hatchery) trout. Non-adipose fin-clipped trout must all be immediately released unharmed. All Rogue tributaries are closed unless noted in the exceptions.
Wild steelhead retention is closed. Hatchery steelhead retention remains open. Anglers are starting to pick up more summer steelhead in the middle Rogue area around Gold Hill and Rogue River. Plugs or side drifting would be the best method for these, but spinners will work too.
Current flow, temp and turbidity conditions for the Rogue can be found at the USGS stream gauges here, or checking the City of Grants Pass water page’s river data here.
