Conditions
: UMPQUA RIVER: Main - Steelhead fishing has slowed down this last week, but there are still some being caught. Steelhead fishing will probably pick back up again late into the weekend. No reports on Chinook in the river yet, but they will be coming soon. ? Last updated 2/14/24. North - Cooler temperatures have slowed the fish, but the river conditions are decent. Still some good steelhead being caught, but there are very few hatchery fish in the North if you are looking to harvest fish. ? South - Steelhead fishing has slowed down, but still decent. Conditions will probably improve into next week. ?
Anglers that catch a hatchery steelhead are encouraged to donate the snout at the ODFW office in Roseburg. Collection barrels are at many boat ramps on the South Umpqua. These snouts may contain a coded-wire tag that will help inform managers on the best release strategy to improve the program. Those who contribute snouts with coded-wire tags are entered into a monthly drawing for a gift card to Sportsman's Warehouse. Last updated 2/28/24. Reported by: Oregon D.F.W |

About: -
The Umpqua River, is one of America's premier fishing rivers. Originating at
Diamond Lake in the Cascade Mountains, the Umpqua flows through the Oregon Coast
Range to meet the Pacific Ocean near Reedsport Oregon. The river contains a
variety of fish species and supports year-round fishing. Boat ramps are numerous
all along the length of the lower river. Winchester Bay, at the mouth of the
river, is a major sport fishing destination and also has ocean charters. The
upper two forks of the Umpqua River east of Roseburg are also popular for
fishing
Driving Directions: The lower Umpqua River is paralleled by Hwys 38 and 138. Hwy 101 crosses the
Umpqua at Reedsport, Oregon.
