Smallmouth fishing is great

We have received a few good report of striper bass being caught in the lower sections. Smallmouth fishing is great right now.
Summer steelhead are in the river, but fishing is likely slow this time of year.
The Umpqua opened to fall Chinook fishing July 1 but is only open on Tuesdays, Thursday, and Saturdaysin the areas covered under permanent regulations. Fishing remains open to hatchery coho fishing under permanent regulations. Anglers are only allowed one adult Chinook (hatchery or wild) for the season in aggregate with the Smith and North Fork Smith rivers. The season will close to Chinook once the 500 wild fish quota is reached.
Less than 10% of the quota has been caught and the fishery should remain open for the next week at least.
ODFW will adopt wild coho seasons in August, but low returns of coho will likely require a closure to all coho in the Umpqua.
