Anglers have reported good success on the South over the last week. The conditions are great and should be good for the week. The Umpqua Fishery Enhancement Derby is happening this Friday and Saturday, so expect more boats on the water. Popular bank fishing spots may be crowded.‌

Anglers that catch a hatchery steelhead are encouraged to donate the snout at the ODFW office in Roseburg. Collection barrels are at many boat ramps on the South Umpqua. These snouts may contain a coded-wire tag that will help inform managers on the best release strategy to improve the program. Those who contribute snouts with coded-wire tags are entered into a monthly drawing for a gift card to Sportsman's Warehouse.
