Rogue River, lower: Spring Chinook, Winter steelhead

Winter steelhead fishing has slowed. This is a good time of year to double check your gear and make sure the fishing line is good. Many of anglers have lost a spring chinook when they are using the same gear they were using for winter steelhead fishing. A few spring chinook continue to show up in the catch daily. Spring Chinook anglers that want to retain a steelhead they may catch will need to purchase the Rogue South Coast Steelhead Validation.
