Chinook Salmon Fishing
 All our Southern Oregon rivers have large returns of Fall King /
Chinook Salmon. Nowhere in an area of 180 miles of coastline are so many Fall
King / Chinook Salmon found as this area of the great Northwest. This is the reason
that Oregon
fishing trip and fishing vacation opportunities for Fall Kings or Chinook
Salmon are among the best salmon fishing trips found anywhere here.
Southern Oregon fishing rivers have annual returns, not counting ocean harvest
(of 20% plus) of over 650,000 returning Fall King / Chinook Salmon annually.
These great Kings or Chinook Salmon average 20 to 30 pounds with many going
higher.
In 2001 the Fly caught World Record King Salmon / Chinook Salmon was taken on a
Oregon fishing trip by Grant Martinson of Grants Pass Oregon. While on an
Oregon fishing vacation to the Lower Rogue River at Gold Beach of 71.5 pounds.

Rogue River fishing trip for Spring Chinook Salmon
 The
Springer is the best eating of all the Pacific Salmon. As these high quality
Spring Chinook Salmon enter fresh from the Pacific Ocean in the early spring
months of late March to June to find
cool river flows from Cascade Mountain snow pack run off and spring rains.
The best opportunity for an Oregon fishing trip or fishing vacation for Spring Chinook occurs on the Rogue River. Starting in late March at
Gold Beach Oregon and extending upriver 35 miles through June when the flows drop and
water temperatures rise. Springer's will become fishable as numbers increase in
the Grants Pass Oregon area (120 miles upriver) in mid May. By late May early June good numbers of
Springer's will arrive in the cool waters of the Upper Rogue near Medford and
Shady Cove and this Oregon fishing trip opportunity will continue through July in this area with June
early July being the peak of the Springer run on the Upper Rogue.

Winter Steelhead
 Oregon
Fishing Trip or fishing vacation opportunities are best for Winter Steelhead in Southern
Oregon. Mild
weather and good fishing conditions blend with large healthy runs of winter
steelhead. Populations of wild winter steelhead far out number hatchery returns.
Running 6 to over 20 pounds these steelhead are real tackle testers. Mostly fished with
drifted roe from Drift Boats and back-trolled plugs. Action can be intense as
multiple hook-ups per day trip are the norm. Your Oregon Fishing Trip or fishing
vacation is best planned for January through March.Rogue River
Winter Steelhead Oregon Fishing Trip
Winter Steelhead runs show on the Lower Rogue at Gold Beach first in December
with possibly the nations largest run of over 100,000 winter steelhead. Most of
these fish are Wild Stocks and will disperse through out the 5000 sq mile
drainage of the Rogue Basin. Oregon Steelhead fishing continues to mid March
with low pressure and great success. Drift Boats work the area of Foster Bar to
Agness drifting roe while below Agness to Gold Beach Power Boats or Jet Sleds
anchor with plugs or back-troll. Bank angling is primarily plunking with
Spinning Glows or plugs. In the Area below Grants Pass to Graves Creek on the
Rogue drift boats work plugs or side drift roe for great catches with best
success in February and March. On the Upper Rogue stretches at Medford and Shady
Cove late February and March are best fishing trip times with April being a good bet also. This is
a great Oregon Fishing Trip or Fishing Vacation destination.
