Currently only hatchery steelhead and hatchery trout may be harvested in the Rogue.  Some early summer Steelhead are starting to show. Wild chinook can now be harvested below Hog Creek, 2 per day. Upstream of Hog Creek, only hatchery Chinook (2 per day) may be harvested.

Locally-owned and operated tackle and fly shops in Grants Pass have excellent gear and very fresh bait, local flies and knowledge that is specific to the Rogue and to your particular technique. Go check them out and offer them support during this time.

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.
