The Rogue above Lost Creek is open for fishing but flows are a high right now due to snow melt. Fishing should improve as flows drop and water temperature increases but fish are available and targeting slow water areas will likely bring success. This section of the river will be stocked next week in time for Memorial Day weekend.‌

The Rogue and tributaries above Lost Creek Reservoir remain open year-round, with a daily retention limit of 5 trout (no limit on brook trout).
