The Rogue and tributaries above Lost Creek Reservoir are open to fishing year-round, with a daily retention limit of 5 trout (no limit on brook trout). Area snow is restricting access to some portions of the river, and the Rogue is a tad high due to melting snow.
An angler recently caught a nice rainbow on a Little Cleo upstream of Prospect.
