As of Nov. 1, the artificial fly and lure season is in effect from Fishers Ferry to Shady Cove boat ramp through the end of the year. Bait is allowed in the remainder of the Rogue.

Late-run summer steelhead and half-pounders are being caught in the Galice area and Robertson Bridge area. Between Gold Hill and Rogue River is also a good float for this time of year, as many summer steelhead streams are in this vicinity and fish are currently staging.

Locally-owned and operated tackle stores in Grants Pass have excellent gear and very fresh bait that is specific to the Rogue and to your particular technique. Go check them out and offer them support during this time. A recent report indicated nightcrawlers and corkies have been producing well.

It is illegal to snag and keep a snagged fish, whether it’s wild or hatchery!  Report violations to Oregon State Police by calling *OSP.

As of Wednesday morning, the flow in Grants Pass was approximately 1,580 cfs and dropping, temperatures in the low to mid 40s. Expect a bump later this week with the rain forecast, but the river should not be blown out for the weekend.

For those interested in checking conditions before getting on the river, the City of Grants Pass Water Division’s website offers information on river conditions at Grants Pass as well as a link to a river camera. Anglers can check all the USGS gaging stations, which have the most current temperatures and river flows here.
