Rogue River, above Lost Creek Reservoir: Trout
Fly fishing can start to become quite good as hatches are starting to come out. Brown trout can also be caught in and around the North Fork Reservoir in Prospect. Bass crank baits or leech patterns fished near logs or structure can coax them to bite. Anglers are encouraged to harvest brook trout regardless of size. No new reports. Last updated 9/15/26.
Rogue River, lower: Chinook, summer steelhead, half-pounder steelhead, hatchery coho
Boat anglers are picking up a mix of fall chinook and coho in the bay. The lower river has also been good for boats anchoring up running plugs or bait or side drifting.
Anglers are reminded that there is no retention of wild coho.
Half pounder steelhead are spread throughout the lower river. There are a few adult summer steelhead around, but the return is down this year. Last updated 9/14/26.
