Just returned from the Rogue.A couple of Salmon trips in the local area and I will return for more of these aggressive Steelhead. After the full moon leaves and some of the Salmon are done spawning the fishing will be GREAT again. Right now the fish are FULL of Salmon eggs. Fall Salmon run is huge this year and many fish over 40 lbs. Best patterns.Freight Train,Stone Nymph,Glo Bug( smaller the better) beadhead October Caddis Nymph and a local fly called a Copper John. CJ looks like a Brassie with fur wings. Secret to catching lots of Fish ? Hire a guide who will force you to cast in between the Salmon and not spook them. If you spook the Salmon they turn downstream and RAM the Steelhead waiting for the free lunch. If you can cast 40' I can put you into great Steelheading on the Rogue. Hotel Rooms starting at $ 60 per night ( dbl ) and guide service at $ 150 per rod.
