Trout releases will start again next week, but holdover trout are still available. Roads below Union Cr have melted and river access is possible again. Roads some to tributaries may still be impassable due to snow, especially upstream of the Crater Lake turn-off.
There is still a lot of snow melting and river level is around 2,500 cfs above Prospect. This section of river fishes well up to about 1,600 cfs.
The Rogue and tributaries above Lost Creek Reservoir remain open year-round, with a daily retention limit of 5 trout (no limit on brook trout). Winter conditions now limit access to most of this area.
