Running deep and strong through southern Oregon's Siskiyou mountains , the Rogue river features exceptional fishing, abundant wildlife, incredible scenery and rich history. It is this combination of characteristics that inspired Congress in 1967 to include the Rogue as part of the original Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Still, here nearly forty years later the fishing on the Rogue remains unsurpassed.
Recognized as salmon and steelhead paradise, the Rogue provides fishermen and women with idyllic pools and quiet fishing holes that teem with fish journeying upriver from the nearby Pacific Ocean. Steelhead in the fall range from one to two feet long and weigh up to eight pounds. Chinook (king) salmon up to 40 pounds are also caught. And, the smaller silver (coho) salmon up to 12 pounds ply these waters.
