Summer steelhead and coho are throughout the Middle Rogue. Rain in the forecast early next week will likely redistribute fish as they move into tributaries to spawn. Only hatchery/adipose-clipped Coho are available to harvest and wild coho must be released. As always, anglers are encouraged to harvest any introduced pikeminnow caught in the middle Rogue, while we encourage the release of native suckers.

Anglers, please use proper catch-and-release techniques, such as keeping fish in the water as much as possible and releasing them quickly. If fish are getting injured with the technique you are using, please change techniques. Remember that smaller rainbow are usually the steelhead that will return in future years.

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.
