Steelhead fishing has been pretty slow with the high water over the last week. Outflow from the dam is around 1,400 cfs and 43 F. Middle and lower river levels are on the high side due to heavy rain this past weekend. The color is ok, but the flows are still fairly high lower in the system. The best conditions for fishing will probably be upstream of Provolt Rec Area for the weekend.

Hatchery steelhead may be retained between Jan. 1 and March 31, 2025. All wild steelhead must be released. Bait is allowed. No fishing from a floating device.

The Rogue-South Coast Steelhead Validation is required for all winter steelhead anglers fishing in the Rogue Basin or on the south coast from Dec. 1 to April 30.

Only adipose fin clipped rainbow trout may be retained. All wild rainbow and cutthroat trout must be released unharmed. Consult the fishing regulations for more information.
