Flow in Grants Pass is 2,800 cfs and rising on Nov. 20, with a water temperature of around 44F. The river is already close to being out of shape for fishing Wednesday evening due to turbidity levels approaching 10 NTUs
Coho salmon are distributed throughout the middle Rogue. Please remember that all unmarked wild coho must be immediately released unharmed, while hatchery fish have an adipose finclip and may be harvested. Anglers can try casting spoons like Little Cleos or spinners like a Blue Fox. Another common technique is to fish bait or artificials like an egg imitation soft bead below a bobber. For fly anglers, coho will strike medium to large leech and streamer patterns in pink, orange, purple or black.
Some summer steelhead are being caught. Again, only hatchery summer steelhead may be kept and all wild steelhead must be released unharmed.
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.
