The Siuslaw River Continues to Produce some Beautiful Big Chinook
After losing a similar sized brute on his previous outing, Gary’s patience paid off as he tied into a massive beast while trolling the lower Siuslaw River on Tuesday
Lower Coquille Producing some Chromers
Ran a little Jet Sled trip on the Lower Coquille yesterday and the salmon cooperated. We hooked 3 chromers that made some hot little runs and certainly kept our attention up. Rumor has it, fresh barbecued salmon’s on the menu tonight
Coastal Rivers Including the Siuslaw & Umpqua are producing some Big Fall Salmon Already
Fun day on the Lower Umpqua launching out of Winchester Bay. Got into some Fatties (Fall Chinook) and even managed a few Dungeoness Crab to boot. Fishing should get better and better in the coming weeks as the run builds.
McKenzie River Spring Chinook Action Enduring well into June
In addition to our local salmon trips, as the summer progresses we have some really fun fishing alternatives for Bass and Trout. The trout trips offer a great opportunity for novice fly-fishers to gain the confidence that flies really do work! It is not uncommon for a first-timer to hook as many as 30 fish of which he or she might land 15-20. It’s great fun!
McKenzie Salmon Continue to Delight Fishermen

McKenzie River Spring Chinook Still Awarding Anglers
With over 40,000 Springers in the Upper Willamette System, our local salmon fishing should peak through the month of June and hopefully endure beyond. A glimpse of what can happen when you bring a can of magic MOJO!
McKenzie River and Middle Fork Willamette are producing some sporty Spring Chinook
A Memorial Day Float produced some Spring Chinook action for us. We were pleasantly surprised with an unexpected lack of boats out on the holiday. It made for a very peaceful and scenic outing.
Spring Chinook Arriving in Good Numbers to Willamette System Tributaries – McKenzie, Middle Fork Wilamette, & South Santiam
RFGS Newsletter – Spring/Summer – 2015 Dear Friends, Fishermen & Guests, I greet you with exciting news. Hard fighting Spring Chinook salmon are currently arriving in really decent numbers in the major tributaries to the Willamette River. With a low snow pack in the mountains, a mild spring, and below average rainfall, the Springers have migrated way earlier than usual this season and are posting some pretty impressive numbers. Nature never ceases to amaze me. It seems the fish instinctively know that they need to make their move upriver early this year while river levels and water temperatures are […]
Spring Chinook & Summer Steelhead Season to Arrive Soon on Oregon’s McKenzie River
We are currently anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Spring Salmon & Summer Steelhead here on the gorgeuos McKenzie. These hard-fighting migratory fish have begun their migration from the ocean to their natal stream but usually begin to show locally here east of Eugene in May. The peak of the run normally tumbles in between June & July with the exact arrival time often a factor of water temperatures and river flow. Other local alternatives to the McKenize, including the Middle Fork Willamette and the South Santiam, sometimes coax the salmon and steelhead in a week or two earlier […]
