Low and clear. A few winter steelhead are starting to move upstream, but with the river conditions it will be hard to get them to bite. Anglers may want to wait until flows pick up to go fishing.
Anglers are reminded to purchase their Rogue South Coast Steelhead Validation prior to going steelhead fishing.
