Steelhead season is winding down quickly. There should still be some around, but very few hatchery steelhead can be found on the North Umpqua. Spring Chinook are crossing Winchester Dam daily, so angling should be improving. There are a few reports of some springers being caught in the Swiftwater area recently.‌

There is NO HARVEST OF WILD ADULT OR JACK SPRING CHINOOK in the Umpqua this year. There is a telemetry project on spring Chinook this year and any Chinook caught with a radio tag in it must be released. This will include a few hatchery fish.
