Some winter steelhead have been being caught from Elkton to River Forks. Some anglers have reported success around the Cleveland Rapids area. The mainstem Umpqua should be in good condition but may get muddy from rain over the weekend.
Anglers that catch a hatchery steelhead are encouraged to donate the snout in collection barrels at Scott Creek, Sawyer's Public, Elkton, Osprey, and James Woods boat launches or the ODFW office in Roseburg. These snouts may contain a coded-wire tag that will help inform managers on the best release strategy to improve the program. Those who contribute snouts with coded-wire tags are entered into a monthly drawing for a gift card to Sportsman's Warehouse.
There is NO HARVEST OF WILD SPRING CHINOOK in the Umpqua this year
