Trout Season is here!
Hello friends,
It's May! And that means it's time for big bugs and trout! This year we will be offering trout trips on the Upper Rogue River. Over the last decade, the upper Rogue has been proving herself with good numbers of local trout who are eager to pounce on big Golden Stone and Salmon Flies. With minimal to little pressure as a trout fishery, the Rogue is sure to please anglers of all skill levels and abilities. While many rivers in Southern Oregon are great trout fisheries, few of them allow you the ability to make precise casts freely out of a boat towards active fish. Growing up in Montana, and cutting my teeth on immaculate trout streams, it's nice to feel a slice of childhood on our local fishery. Big dry flies and active eaters make for productive and memorable experiences. We are booking now and anticipate the start of the stonefly hatch in the next couple of weeks.
The hatch on the Rogue is around for a short season with the peak fishing happening between the end of May and first three weeks of June. With the Medford airport close by and the I-5 corridor adjacent to much of the river, it's an easy destination to reach. These rainbows and sea run cuts are aggressive and hungry this time of year. We fish both dry fly presentations and wet fly presentations sub-surface. And to shake things up a bit, we offer swung fly instruction to eager trout with Micro-Spey rods. A real art and gas when a fish crushes that sculpin pattern! Plus, early steelhead arrives in May and you have a real chance at getting a bright summer steelhead. Not a bad surprise when fishing for their cousins.
Please inquire here for more information. We'll have you fishing in no time! All gear and tackle are included in this all-inclusive trip. Come hone your firing skills and watch the piggy come home to the trough!
We recommend both 4wt and 5wt rods for casting dry flies and nymph style presentations. Also 3/4/5 wt micro-Spey rods for swinging flies.
Feel free to drop us a line and we will update you on the best conditions of fishing on Southern Oregon rivers.
Our Fall season for Summer- run steelhead also fills up fast so if you are one to plan ahead feel free to book early as our calendar is filling up quick!
