I have been fishing the Upper Rogue River for the past few days. The weather has been great since the last snow storm which was the week of March 10th. For the last two days I have been floating from Takelma Park down to ToueVelle park. We have been hooking up with winter Steelhead pretty regularly, boating 2-4 Steelhead per trip, and many Trout from 8-20in. I have been fishing with small Steelhead egg clusters that have been cured with Pro-Cure Orange-Borax and adding Pro-Cure Monster Bite. I have also been casting a small Prince Nyph fly and picking up a few Steelhead, but mostly good sized Trout have been hitting the flys.
The Upper Rogue River is low as of March 18, 2010, on March 17th the river was flowing at 1670 cfs, this makes drifting from Dodge Bridge down quite tricky and not for the inexperienced drift boater. As of March 14th there was 5326 Winter Steelhead over Gold Ray Dam and decent numbers have made it up to the Hatchery.
With the coming weather expected to be nice, I suggest getting on the Upper Rogue and fighting some fish
