A very strong early season total of almost 2,000 hatchery spring Chinook have made it into the hatchery as of last week so now is a good time to try for a bright, early spring Chinook. Spring Chinook fishing has been good for both boat and bank fishing over the last weekend. ‌

The release from Lost Creek is 2,200 CFS and the river temperature is 50F.‌

Anglers can call the Army Corps of Engineers at 800-472-2434 for an update on hatchery counts as well as flow and temperature information.‌

Make sure to check the Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations for each section of river before you head out. ‌

For up-to-date river levels, check all the USGS Rogue gauges here.
