According to Martin, the first few salmon of the season are being caught by trollers in the Rogue Bay. “Warmer weather this week in the Rogue Valley could make fishing even better, as late spring kings are quickly moving through the estuary and blasting upriver. Typically, an early start to the bay fishery indicates an above-average run.”
