Rogue River - Middle Fish Report for 2-28-2024
The Rogue is currently in great shape
Rogue River - Middle - Grants Pass, OR (Josephine County)

The current flow is 2,150 cfs and the average river temperature is about 46 F.
The Rogue is currently in great shape and anglers are having success catching winter steelhead from Galice to Grants Pass. With these conditions using bait, lures, flies, pulling plugs or plunking are classic techniques that can get you into a fish. Target eddy and current seams and travel lanes on the inside corners to find migrating steelhead. Expect the river to rise with the rain coming in around Saturday this weekend but that will bring in some new fish.
Current flow, temp and turbidity conditions for the Rogue can be found at the USGS stream gauges here, or checking the City of Grants Pass water page's river data here.
