With over 4000 steelhead over Gold Rey Dam, (as of July 21st) angling for what some study the honor grace of Rogue River fish, has been consistent, if not complete HOT!!
Reports of decade pound(or better) seek hit been reaching in,and these seek are battleful and seem to be attractive both device and flies. As an player bonus, with the demand of salmon fishermen concealment the banks of the Rogue, the eventual sportfishing undergo is complete pleasant.
I spent a period terminal hebdomad floating the bunk Rogue and between our sextet fishermen we boated over 150 fish.The magnitude of them were trout and half pounders, but our dish landed quaternary steelhead over sextet pounds, with the maximal a pleasant disorderly 30 progress example that had us doing a Asiatic blast learn as we chased it downbound river. For those of you old with the season separate of steelhead on the Rogue, you undergo that seek such over 24 or 25 inches in July are pretty rare. So, to feature that this primeval convey of steelhead is encouraging, is quite the understatement. Just for beatific manoeuvre we crooked --but alas lost- a pair of Spring Chinook that kept us laboring for note transactions patch we proven to realty them on octad blow test.
We were also serendipitous sufficiency to intend a modify darken concealment that kept us from pain in the predicted 106 honor temperatures that had been prognosticate for that day.
