Rogue River Salmon Fishing
Gold Beach Oregon
July 1st begins the Oregon Salmon fishing season for our returning Rogue River Salmon, averaging 20 to 40 pounds each. In August 2002 a 66-pounder
was landed while trolling in the river estuary area at
Gold Beach Oregon. This was the largest King Salmon landed in Oregon
in nearly 20 years. This catch of a 66-pounder was soon eclipsed by a
true Rogue River monster size Oregon King Salmon.World Record Oregon King Salmon
Caught Fly fishing on the Rogue River at Gold Beach Oregon
While Fly Fishing Grant Martinsen landed a 71.5-pound, Oregon King Salmon fishing and World
Salmon Fly Fishing record King Salmon at Clay Banks on the Lower Rogue near Gold
Beach, on October 22nd, 2002 Nearly all of the Rogue River Salmon
fishing is for wild salmon stocks,
very few hatchery Fall King Salmon are found in the Rogue River.
Salmon fishing is good here until mid to late October. The
Lower Rogue River near Gold Beach
is the best bet for salmon fishing until water temperatures start to cool
in September. Cooler weather in September brings water temperatures down
encouraging stacked up King Salmon to begin to move up-river toward their
spawning grounds up to 150 miles away.

Elk River Fall King Salmon Fishing
 October
through January.
The Elk River is 50 miles long with 10 miles of the best
King Salmon fishing water for late season Fall King Salmon to be found anywhere. The Elk
River is a wonderful river for Oregon
salmon fishing,
a small stream
with more King salmon holding water and holes per mile than any other stream in
Oregon.
The Elk
River King Salmon will out fight all other King
Salmon hands down. More fish
are lost here on the Elk River than are landed due to water conditions
and the attitude of these Elk River King Salmon. On the average
these big Fall King Salmon will win their battle 50% of the time as
they are big, mean and aggressive, all qualities we want in great Oregon
Salmon fishing trips.
