2016 Wrap Up

Rogue River salmon season 2016

We wrapped our Rogue River Salmon Fishing Season last week. Early rains blew out the river and moved the salmon up to their spawning grounds. We had a good summer and fall on the Rogue. Low and warm water kept us in the Rogue Bay most of the season instead of the National Forest. While there were a few slow days, most days we enjoyed the “big tug”.
We will be taking a break from fishing in Nov. & Dec and returning for the awesome Rogue River Steelhead run in January.

Spring Salmon Wrap Up

First off, a great big THANK YOU to all of our clients who pretty much booked out our Springer Season through the 1st week of June. We are now booking Rogue River fall run salmon. With extremely low (remember 2007 & 2008) returns predicted for the Sacramento River, we will fish the Rogue July – October this year.

This was one of the most inconsistent springer season’s we have ever experienced. One week in May reflects the entire season- with all things being the same including location, water & weather we bounced from 8 salmon in one day to 0 the next and 0-3 over the following days. Also this year we encountered far more wild salmon than hatchery. Again, rather strange since we normally catch at least a 50:50 mix. We are taking off June to visit family and will return to the Rogue to chase ocean fresh king salmon in early July.

Make your plans early for the Rogue this year. We are already booking trips in Sept. & Oct. With the dismal predictions for Sacramento River salmon, many of our old clients from Red Bluff are booking trips with us on the Rogue.

Here are a few photos and videos from the 2016 springer season.
