Rogue River Winter Steelhead Fishing_1002178.jpg) Update - A set of winter storms are forcast to drop 5 to 9 inches of rain on the Southern Oregon Coast Teusday night thru Thursday DEc 29th - the Lower Rogue River is forecasted to jump in flow from 2300 cfs to over 17,000 cfs and the Illinois River is to add 20,000 cfs. Our last rain of any volume was a month ago. The river should fill with fresh Winter Steelead. Look for good fishing as the river drops - a good bet would be after New Years Day - begining Jan 1st angler can keep one Winter Steelhead over 24" per day as part of their 2 fish a day limit.The Rogue River recieves more Winter Steelhead than all the other Southern Oregon rivers combined. Rogue River Winter Steelhead run 6 to 15 pounds on average, although we have boated Rogue River winter Steelhead exceeding 24#. There is a no Wild Winter Steelhead retention rule until January 1st on the Rogue River when 1 wild Winter Steelhead over 24 inches maybe kept. You can keep any hatchery Steelhead over 16 inches as part of your two fish per day bag limit anytime of year. We fish fresh Winter Steelhead on the Rogue River from our 22 ft covered powerboat with heater. We anchor with plugs to intercept fast moving Winter Steelhead in secluded fishing conditions in the recreation section of the Wild and Scenic Lower Rogue River. This years Spring Chinook run will begin n the Rogue River in mid March and run through mid June. Last years run was a good one and this year looks like a repeat. Get your fishing dates early. Our fishing report has been down for over 2 months with a cyber attack to our server - now repaired. So we will try to keep it more up to date. Watch for the next rain event to bring the first push of Rogue River Winter Steelhead. We have fishing dates open - call 800-348-4138 or email steve@fishoregon.com |

| Chetco River - report updated 12/27/2011 | ||
| Click here for Chetco River Water Level | ||
Chetco River King Salmon Update: Update: After a month of little or no rain the Chetco River is forecast to blow out with storms arriving Teusday night (Dec 27th) and lasting thru Thursday (Dec 29th). We are forecast to recieve 5 to 9 inches of rain. The river should be fishing by New Years Day. We have only had 1 freshet so far this year - this will be the second. There are alot of Winter Steelhead in the Chetco River now however the river is very low (600 cfs) and with the big freshet forecast to raise the river levels to 24,000 cfs it will be a whole new world of fishing on the Chetco River when the waters receed! Plan on a fishable Chetco River after New Years. Might be alot of fish caught New Years Day! Winter Steelhead should be the bulk of the catch but there still could be a good number of Kings also - I believe this will be the last chance for Kings this year on the Chetco River. The Chetco River has yeilded some of the biggest Kings ever caught in the Chetco this year. Many King Salmon over 50# have been landed. This includes what seems to be a new river record at 65#. A 65# King Salmon is very impressive as it is likely the largest Chinook salmon caught in nearly a decade if not in all of Oregon then certainly in Southern Oregon. The last huge King Salmon caught was Oct 2001 on the Rogue River when a 71.5 # King Salmon was caught flyfishing breaking the World Flyfishing Record by near 9 pounds. This still stands as the all line class World Record Flyfishing. Our fishing report has been down for over 2 months with a cyber attack to our server - now repaired. So we will try to keep it more up to date. There are still going to be King salmon caught on the Chetco River - however the peak is past and the river flow is low. Watch for the next rain event to bring a good shot of King Salmon and the first push of Winter Steelhead. We have fishing dates open - call 800-348-4138 |

Elk and Sixes River Winter Steelhead Fishing Update: After a month of little or no rain the Elk and Sixes are forecast to blow out with storms arriving Teusday night (Dec 27th) and lasting thru Thursday (Dec 29th). We are forecast to recieve 5 to 9 inches of rain. The river should be fishing by New Years Day. We have only had 1 freshet so far this year - this will be the second. Thousands of Kings are stacked up and ready to move on increased flow - the Elk River will be open for Kings and Steelhead after the 1st. The Sixes will be closed to Kings but open for Winter Steelhead. Look for great fishing as the waters receed! Elk and Sixes River Winter Steelhead Fishing is starting to look good! Salmon are over after low water conditions followed by huge river flows basiclly wipe season out. Very few good Salmon fishing days were available. There have been some good Winter Steelhead days and more are surly to follow. February is a top month for Winter Steelhead here. |
