The upper Rogue above Dodge Bridge to the hatchery will close to Chinook angling today, July 31, 2024. Anglers can still fish for Chinook downstream of Dodge Bridge which should have a few fish available.
Best bets for the upper river are summer steelhead and trout. Fly-fishing and spinners are the preferred methods this time of year. Fishing is good right now and will only get better for summer steelhead as we head into August.
The release from Lost Creek is 1,700 CFS and the river temperature is 54F.
Anglers can call the Army Corps of Engineers at 800-472-2434 for an update on hatchery counts as well as flow and temperature information.
Make sure to check the Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations for each section of river before you head out.
