The river has been running high and muddy most of the season, but finally river conditions look like they will be improving for the final couple weeks of the season.
Anglers are also reminded that the new Rogue-South Coast Steelhead Validation is required to fish the river. All anglers need the Rogue South Coast steelhead validation and if an angler wants to keep a wild steelhead, they must also have the new Wild Steelhead harvest card.
