2018 Springer Salmon Wrap Up

We wrapped up our Rogue Springer Salmon season last week and I would judge it as average. Typical of springer fishing on the lower Rogue, it was highly inconsistent. We had limit and near limit days followed by skunks followed by productive days, followed by 1 and 2 fish days. Higher than normal water levels and lower than normal water temperatures kept us fishing well into mid-June. We pulled the plug last week when the moss kicked up by the tour boats got so bad that we simply couldn’t keep a clean bait in the water.

We are proud to say that we did every one of our spring salmon adventures far away from the crowded lower Rogue in the Rogue Siskiyou National Forest. No hog lines or fishing in our neighbors’ backyards for us! Regardless of the catching, we all enjoyed gorgeous scenery, incredible wildlife and peace and quiet.
