Summer steelhead are moving through the middle Rogue, but migration rates are likely to slow with warmer water temperatures. Small lures and flies work well.

Most Spring Chinook have moved through the middle Rogue, but a few continue to trickle through. Consult Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations for open sections and bag limits.

Trout season is open. Hatchery trout (less than 16 inches) may be harvested, catch and release for wild rainbow and cutthroat.
