All wild steelhead must be released in the Umpqua so please follow good catch-and-release techniques.

Spring Chinook should be in the river; however, reports have been mixed with some reporting good catch rates, and others reporting zeros. Most anglers fish for spring Chinook from a boat using plugs or bait.

Shad should start up as we get closer to Mother’s Day (the usual start of the main part of the season).

Trout fishing will reopen in May 2019.
