: APPLEGATE RIVER: The release from the dam is 250 cfs, and the temperature at release is 43F. Reservoir outflow will stabilize now around this number as the reservoir refills. The Applegate is currently open for trout and winter steelhead fishing. Only hatchery winter steelhead can be retained.? Winter steelhead are showing up in the Applegate and fish have been caught in the lower river with a couple up to the town of Applegate. The best bets are the Hwy 199 bridge or Fish Hatchery Park.

About: -
The Applegate River originates and flows through the Applegate Valley in the Rogue River National Forest.
Anadromous fish species such as silver and chinook salmon and steelhead, spawn
and are reared in the Applegate River before making their way to the ocean via
the Rogue River. Ten miles up the Applegate River from the Ranger Station is the Applegate Dam
and 988 acre reservoir,
Applegate Lake.
January 1 through March 31:
The Applegate offers excellent fishing for steelhead averaging five to
eight pounds. Usually, the river is slower in January, perks up by February,
and is excellent in March. The river is also open for trout during this
period. The Applegate is then closed to fishing until the last Saturday in May.
Then open for trout through December 31st. Note: The river is closed the remainder of
the year and is closed year-round to salmon fishing.
