Rogue River

Coos Bay & Lower Umpqua producing Good Catches of Fall Salmon

Fall Chinook fishing in many Oregon estuaries has been rated good to excellent. The past few weeks have proven very productive for folks chasing salmon and the encouraging results bode well for the runs which should continue to build well into the late Fall Season.

Springers are now adding to the mix of wonderful wild Steelhead on the North Umpqua

We have entered the final stretch for winter steelhead fishing on most of our coastal streams. A few select rivers offer prolonged opportunity for some continued steelhead fishing beyond the general March 31st cutoff. Numerous rivers and sections of some rivers remain open to steelhead fishing year-round. The Rogue, the Umpqua, and the Siletz fall into this category. The Whitaker Run on the Siuslaw remains open through April 15, while the South Fork of the Coquille stays open through April 30. Winter steelhead fishing on the Siuslaw however, has slowed considerably.
