Anglers are starting to troll the Rogue bay for Chinook with some success. As long as water temperatures in the river continue to stay high, Chinook numbers will build in the estuary and fishing will only get better. As usual, the best bait is an anchovy. 

Current river flows are reported by the gage in Agness on the USGS website. Note that this gage is above the Illinois River mouth and does not account for that additional water flow.
