Flows are dropping from recent rain/snow melt. As the river clears and drops, smaller lures or flies can be effective. Please remember no wild steelhead retention allowed on the Illinois River for the 2024/2025 season. See regulations and season updates. Artificial lures and flies only.
Hatchery steelhead may be retained in certain sections.
The Rogue-South Coast Steelhead Validation is required for all winter steelhead anglers fishing in the Rogue Basin or on the south coast from Dec. 1 to April 30.
