The release from Lost Creek Reservoir is in the 950 cfs vicinity, but tributaries are providing good input downstream. Dodge Bridge is around 2,300 cfs.  Water color is almost ideal right now.  

Trout fishing is still open in the Rogue with a daily bag limit of 5 adipose fin-clipped (hatchery) trout. Anglers are encouraged to harvest hatchery trout. Wild trout must be immediately released unharmed.

Last week 105 new winter steelhead showed up to the hatchery, and the season total is 202. Anglers continue catching winter steelhead near the hatchery recently, and more should be moving upriver after last week’s rise in river levels.

Wild winter steelhead over 24 inches may be harvested upstream of Hog Creek boat ramp Feb. 1-April 30 (1 per day, 3 per season). Please check out MyODFW for info on new validation and harvest tag requirements in the Rogue and South Coast Rivers.

Please avoid wading in and fishing near salmon redds. 

For up-to-date river levels, check all the USGS Rogue gauges here.
