Even though trout stocking has stopped for the year, the river upstream of Lost Creek remains a good place to fish for remaining stocked trout while enjoying fall colors. The incoming winter storm will likely lead to snow in the upper Rogue, but anglers should be in the clear downstream of Union Creek. Check the driving conditions on Trip Check before heading up.
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).
