: UMPQUA RIVER: Remember the main stem Umpqua is closed to wild steelhead harvest, but remains open year-round for adipose fin-clipped steelhead. Small mouth fishing has slowed with the cooler water temperatures. This weeks warmer rain should get the coho and steelhead moving again. The final spring chinook count for Winchester Dam this year was 14,261 with about 34 percent of the run being jacks. Should bode well for another good year of springer fishing in 2010. As of the middle of October, over 4,700 summer steelhead and 2,500 coho have crossed Winchester Dam. Due to production problems in 2007, the hatchery steelhead numbers are lower than normal. Fishing in the North Umpqua for chinook is closed. Summer steelhead angling is slow. 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.
