Fall/Winter Steelhead $600/day 1 or 2 anglers
Minimum 2 days consecutive booking
The lower Rogue River Canyon plunges into the rugged and remote Siskiyou Mountains. The lower Rogue is a place of solitude and generations have spent their lives dedicated to her currents. From steep canyon walls still ever shifting, to the wide open expanses kissed with a salty breeze, just being there you’ve connected before your rod is in hand. We offer guided drift boat trips targeting Summer and Winter run adult and “half-pounder” steelhead. These are sexually immature steelhead ranging from 14 to 24 inches. They are small but extremely active and aggressive – making them very fun to catch. Depending on the season we fish for Fall Chinook, and Coho as well with a swung fly.
Location:
Lower Rogue River near Gold Beach and Agness, Oregon.
Fishing Program:
This is a guided fishing experience for 1-4 anglers on the Rogue River for at least 2 guided days. 1 boat and 1 guide is provided for 2 or more full days fishing for steelhead wading and swinging flies. Casting out of the boat and nymphing techniques are an option if desired. This package includes lunch and transportation to and from the river.
