The number of boats trolling the bay has dropped quite a bit. The catch has dropped off, with just a few Chinook and coho being picked up. This good time of year to start fishing around the mouth of Indian Creek as hatchery Chinook start holding up in the bay.
Anglers need to pay extra attention to the fish they catch as there are good numbers of wild coho in the bay. ALL WILD COHO MUST BE RELEASED.
ODFW annually monitors the run of Chinook, steelhead, and coho at Huntley Park (approximate 8 miles upstream from the mouth) on the Rogue River. To learn more about the project, people can visit the ODFW website to receive this years' two-week updates and to see the historical catch.
Anglers that see a game violation can report the violation to *OSP (*677) on a mobile device or call 1-800-452-7888. Anglers can also file complaints or potential violations concerning guides to the Oregon State Marine Board.
