Flow in Grants Pass is about 2,270 cfs on Tuesday morning. The water temperature is averaging 66.5 F. Summer steelhead and spring chinook are migrating through the middle Rogue. Beginning June 1, anglers fishing downstream of Fishers Ferry Boat Ramp may harvest up to 2 spring chinook per day, hatchery (adipose finclip) or wild (no adipose finclip).

As always, anglers are encouraged to harvest any introduced pikeminnow caught in the middle Rogue, while we encourage the release of native suckers. Harvested pikeminnow can be used in the garden or placed in the trash.

Anglers, please use proper catch-and-release techniques, such as keeping fish in the water as much as possible and releasing them quickly. If fish are getting injured with the technique you are using, please change techniques. Remember that smaller rainbow are usually the steelhead that will return in future years.

Current flow, temp and turbidity conditions for the Rogue can be found at the USGS stream gauges here, or checking the City of Grants Pass water page's river data here.
