Flow in Grants Pass is about 1,510 cfs. The water temperature is around 50F with the cooler temperatures. Summer steelhead are migrating through the Middle Rogue. Angling for Fall Chinook in the middle Rogue closed on Oct 1 but there are a few Coho starting to move through. Rain this weekend will likely bring the river level and turbidity up by early next week. This will probably also redistribute the summer steelhead and Coho. Hatchery/adipose-clipped Coho are available to harvest. As always, anglers are encouraged to harvest any introduced pikeminnow caught in the middle Rogue, while we encourage the release of native suckers.

Anglers, please use proper catch-and-release techniques, such as keeping fish in the water as much as possible and releasing them quickly. If fish are getting injured with the technique you are using, please change techniques. Remember that smaller rainbow are usually the steelhead that will return in future years.

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.
