Mainstem
Fishing has been slow for spring chinook. The river is running below normal water levels; boat operators should be aware. Also the moss is starting to appear which affects how long one's lure is working properly. With low forecasted returns, the main Umpqua will be closed to all harvest of wild spring Chinook. Only fin-clipped Chinook may be harvested. Anglers are catching good numbers of shad throughout the main Umpqua.
We have received a few good report of striper bass being caught in the lower sections.
Only hatchery steelhead may be harvested.
The Umpqua will open to fall Chinook fishing July 1 but is only open on Tuesdays, Thursday, and Saturdays in the areas covered under permanent regulations. Fishing remains open to hatchery coho fishing under permanent regulations. Anglers are only allowed one adult Chinook (hatchery or wild) for the season in aggregate with the Smith and North Fork Smith rivers. The season will close to Chinook once the 500 wild fish quota is reached.
