Flow in Grants Pass is about 1,900 cfs with a water temperature of around 64F.

Fall Chinook have started to show up in the section around Galice with many more on the way. Anglers targeting them would want to focus there but a few have been caught moving through Grants Pass so you never know. Expect more fall Chinook over the next few weeks. A few more summer steelhead have been reported as well.

ODFW's Pikeminnow Roundup has started, running September 1-September 21 and focused on the middle Rogue River.

Pikeminnow can be fun to catch especially for young anglers. Try fishing deep near the bottom of the river with lures or bait that can include chicken livers, fried chicken skin, or other chicken parts.
