Conditions : ROGUE RIVER: Lower - Both boat anglers and bank anglers plunking Spin-n-Glos have been regularly picking up steelhead in between storms. Most of the steelhead that have been caught are wild, but hatchery steelhead started showing in the catch. As always, anglers will want to check the flows prior to heading out and try to fish as flows are dropping.?
Anglers are reminded that the Rogue has a new winter steelhead season structure that starts Dec. 1. Anglers can now retain wild steelhead starting Dec. 1, but they must be tagged on the new wild steelhead tag. Only 3 wild steelhead can be retained from Dec. 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024. Anglers are reminded to check the regulations in the particular area they are fishing prior to heading out, as start and end dates vary by zone. Last updated 2/14/24.

Middle - The current flow is 2,150 cfs and the average river temperature is about 46 F. ?
The Rogue is currently in great shape and anglers are having success catching winter steelhead from Galice to Grants Pass. With these conditions using bait, lures, flies, pulling plugs or plunking are classic techniques that can get you into a fish. Target eddy and current seams and travel lanes on the inside corners to find migrating steelhead. Expect the river to rise with the rain coming in around Saturday this weekend but that will bring in some new fish. ?

Upper - The release from Lost Creek Reservoir is 1,250 cfs and the temperature at release is 42.5F. Expect releases from the dam to stay around that number as the reservoir fill season has started. ?
