Flow in Grants Pass is about 1,400 cfs with a water temperature of around 58F.

Fall Chinook have showed up in good numbers recently. Anglers have reported success throughout the middle Rogue. Preferred methods include back bouncing roe and large spinners. A few more summer steelhead have been reported as well.

ODFW's Pikeminnow Roundup has started, running September 1-September 21 and focused on the middle Rogue River. Anglers are always encouraged to harvest and remove introduced pikeminnow from the Rogue River. During the Roundup its possible to win prizes in three different categories – youth (under 12), teen (12-17, adult (18+). For contest details search ODFW Rogue Pikeminnow Roundup. Pikeminnow can be fun to catch especially for young anglers. Try fishing deep near the bottom of the river with lures or bait that can include chicken livers, fried chicken skin, or other chicken parts.

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.
