UMPQUA RIVER, NORTH: Trout
Returns of summer steelhead have fallen below the level where ODFW needed to take action to protect these fish. Following the framework developed in 2022, ODFW closed the North Umpqua to steelhead fishing beginning August 10 and continuing through November 30.
The North Umpqua will remain open for trout fishing in areas where allowed. Anglers are encouraged to use appropriate catch-and-release techniques due to the higher water temperatures currently in the basin. Last updated 8/13/26.
