Current flow is around 1,750 cfs and temperature in the low-40s F, but water levels are forecast to jump significantly this weekend.

Wild winter steelhead over 24 inches may be harvested upstream of Hog Creek boat ramp starting Feb. 1 to April 30(1 per day, 3 per season). Please check out MyODFW for info on new validation and harvest tag requirements in the Rogue and South Coast Rivers.

With significant rain in the forecast, pulling plugs Thursday and Friday on the river rise could be very productive. Target travel lanes in the heads and tails of pools. Once the river comes up, don’t forget to try shallow water with lures as fish often hold out of the main flow during high and brown water conditions.

Current flow, temp and turbidity conditions for the Rogue can be found at the USGS stream gauges here, or checking the City of Grants Pass water page’s river data here.
