According to Martin, the Rogue Bay once again is full of salmon. “There’s lots of fish splashing near the sand spit during the outgoing tide, but catch rates are slow,” said Martin. “A fish or two a boat is considered a good day right now. Big numbers of salmon shot upriver early last week. Hot weather inland will force the kings to hold up again in the bay.”
