The Lower Rogue out of Gold Beach, Oregon is a great place for spey anglers keen to get off the beaten path in search of hot, bright winter steelhead. Southern Oregon is a place that is sought out to experience, an off the beaten path rural beautiful area. Oregon’s Rogue River meets the sea at Gold Beach, we fish from Lobster Creek and or Quosatana Campground all the way upriver to Agness. Agness was established in 1897 and shortly thereafter, in 1912, Lucas Pioneer Ranch was built. Today the ranch is being run by the seventh generation of the Lucas family and is the headquarters for the Sampsel’s remarkably authentic winter steelhead program. We offer both program trips along with day trips in this wild and impressive area with a great array of attractive and productive swing fishing water. Guests will float different sections of the river via jet boat getting out to fish prime runs. At days end they will return to back to your place of stay.  All fishing will be traditional down and across swing fishing, typically with spey rods, Skagit heads and sink tips. This is relatively big water, but it has lots of structure and character and the surrounding area and accompanying views are rather spectacular. While guests are hoping to connect with adult winter steelhead, one of the things that makes this trip special is that encounters with smaller ‘half-pounders’ are common and tend to keep the excitement levels high.
