UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: steelhead
The South is open for hatchery steelhead and hatchery coho. The best fishing for steelhead will be in the lower sections. There has been very little effort so far. But with recent rains, angler effort should increase as the river starts to recede. Last updated 12/18/24.
