Flow in Grants Pass is about 1,900 cfs with a water temperature of around 66F.

There are no reports again this week for this section of the Rogue but an increase in the fall Chinook catch at Huntley Park means these fish should be showing up in the middle Rogue soon. A few more summer steelhead have been reported so fly-fishing or a Blue Fox spinner might catch one of those.

Anglers are reminded that trout fishing opened back up May 22. Only adipose fin clipped rainbow trout may be retained. All wild rainbow and cutthroat trout must be released unharmed. Consult the fishing regulations for more information.

Current flow, temp and turbidity conditions for the Rogue can be found at the USGS stream gaugeshere, or checking the City of Grants Pass water page's river data here.
