River Information

Like our sister Klamath River, the Rogue River runs hundreds of miles heading west across southern Oregon and finally ending up at the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach.

This is a world famous river with runs of summer-run adult Steelhead, Halfpounder Steelhead , big winter run Steelhead, spring and fall runs of King Salmon and fall runs of Silver Salmon plus a spring run of American Shad. There are probably Sea-run Cutthroat around as well.

The upper reaches have resident Rainbow Trout as well. Early June is the Salmon Fly hatch time on the 'Holy Water'.

In the Spring you have runs of extremely fresh King Salmon (Springers) which are very hard to catch on flies.

It has a very large run of American Shad in the spring with May/June being prime time.

Summer Steelhead start entering the river in July working their way up to the Medford area for the fall fishing which is best in October.

In August/September you have runs of large fresh King Salmon in the lower river. Some wade now with Spey rods but the traditional way is from from an anchored small boat/pram.

Silver Salmon/Cohos are on a come back in the fall now too.

September is a good month for Halfpounder Steelhead down in the lower river just like on the Klamath River in California.

This river is the big deal for Nor Cal anglers because it is a short 5 hour drive from Sacramento to Medford.

You can access the lower river and wade fish it from the road system down there.

The lower to middle river is accessed by jet boat.

The middle to upper river has some foot access but is mostly floated in drift boats.

The Fall is famous for these multi-day drift boat float trips where you fish and staying at a different river lodges every night.

This great river, like the Klamath, with many different faces is one of the top fly fishing rivers in the world.
