The release from Lost Creek Reservoir is around 1,780cfs and 51.6F. Click here for current flow at the Ray Gold gage. For up-to-date river levels, check all the USGS Rogue gauges here.

Cole Rivers Hatchery returns as of 6/03/26: New winter steelhead 6, season total 1023. New spring Chinook 993, season total 5738. Folks are still catching a few hatchery and wild winter steelhead, and side-drifting larger beads seems to be the most productive. There are a few spring Chinook being caught, and angling pressure is starting to increase. The hatchery has started rerunning spring Chinook in the upper Rogue. If you don't intend to harvest a fish, please use proper catch-and-release techniques, such as keeping fish in the water as much as possible and releasing wild fish immediately.
