No recent reports from anglers. The mainstem Umpqua has been cold, high and muddy lately. The upper areas may clear some by this weekend, and possibly have some steelhead and early spring Chinook to catch. The warmer temperatures this week will make the fish more active than the past few weeks.
There is NO HARVEST OF WILD ADULT OR JACK SPRING CHINOOK in the Umpqua this year. The river remains open for hatchery Chinook through June 1. Fall seasons have not yet been finalized
