Mainstem

With low forecasted returns, the main Umpqua will be closed to all harvest of wild Spring Chinook. Only fin-clipped Chinook maybe harvested. The first of the Chinook should be making their way upriver.

Fishing has been fair for steelhead with anglers reporting success throughout the main Umpqua. With water temperatures in the mid-40s, catch rates should increase. Only hatchery steelhead maybe harvested.

South 

The South is open for hatchery steelhead. Anglers are catching a few hatchery steelhead in the Canyonville area. With higher flows and warmer temperatures anglers are doing well.
