Rogue River Fly Fishing Report

Jim Andras Reports on 1.18.2017

More unseasonably warm and dry weather this week in S. Oregon continues to keep the upper Rogue flowing low and clear. Fortunately, we’re now seeing a mix of late summer and winter steelhead in the system. As is the case every year, my season slows down considerably after Thanksgiving even though the Rogue supports a robust winter run of almost entirely wild fish....

Happy New Year from Southern Oregon! My son and I capped off 2017 with a New Year’s Eve float on the upper Rogue. At only 8, he came along as a fly fisher in a big way this year. After swearing off steelhead this summer to focus on bass, it took some serious persuasion to get him off the pond and back on the river. On Halloween, he hooked a steelhead on his first cast...

Rogue River Steelhead Report

Andras Outfitters Reports on 12.7.2017

What a difference a year makes! Last year, the Rogue got really big in December and stayed that way through April making for an extremely limited winter steelhead season. Yesterday I guided the river under clear skies, excellent water conditions and slid the net under great wild steelhead! The weather over the next 10 days looks to stay unseasonably warm and...

It’s been a long time since I posted a report. Overall, the upper Rogue has fished well since August. Good numbers of wild steelhead in the system again with a broader mix of age classes than in past years. So, we’re seeing steelhead ranging from 20 - 28 inches making up for most of the run. My next available dates are Nov. 21, 22, 29, 30. Thank you for reading and...

Finally back on the Rogue after what feels like too long. Fished a number of days over the past two weeks and have found steelhead on every trip. I would not go as far to say that there are lots of fish around but bright, wild steelhead are always worth the effort. Did not include any photos as we’ve been under a heat wave and I made a point to keep the fish wet. The...

The salmonfly hatch really got going last week on the upper Rogue with bugs crawling and flying in impressive numbers. As usual, it took the fish a few days to start capitalizing on the steady stream of food floating overhead. However, the response did click and we should see our best window of dry fly fishing on the Rogue through the end of the month. This is a great...

Though still flowing about 1500 cfs above normal, water levels are heading in the right direction for the Rogue’strout opener on May 27th. Salmonflies and golden stones should start flying end of May/beginning of June and pitching dries over the coming weeks serves as a highlight for summer trout fishing in the Rogue Valley. After months of enduring high water, the...

Southern Oregon Fly Fishing Report

Jim Andras reports on 3.23.17

About ready to pull the plug on what has been an extremely limited winter steelhead season on the upper Rogue. Flows continued to go in the wrong direction last week and today finally look stable. Unfortunately, too much flow continues to push through the dam and, with all the snow in the mountains above Lost Creek Reservoir, I cannot imagine any major change will...

Finally, the Rogue dropped to fishable flows (at least where I like it) this week and I made a day of it yesterday with friends to see what’s out there. Though still on the high side, the color looks really good above Dodge. Actually, the color looks good at least to Tou Velle park just more water to deal with. We did well, landing a few fish and losing a few...

Rouge River Fly Fishing Report

Jim Andras Reports on 2.9.2017

More rain continues to keep the upper Rogue’s flows rising and unfishable. We’re seeing heavy rain in S. Oregon today so I expect the river to continue to rise at least throughout the day today. Looks like we’re in for a break starting Friday but it’s difficult to say if it will last long enough for conditions to improve before the next batch of storms hits next week....
