Rogue River - Upper - September 26th, 2005
supplied by: Trophy Waters
RECORDED: 
75 °
FISHING: Great
September 26, 2005: Weekend reports from Trophy Waters guide staff are encouraging. The fishing was good for a number of people. Must have flies included Trout Retriever’s in Black Lab #6 & #8 and egg patterns. Plenty of salmon are spawning now and certain areas of the river require an egg pattern to hook fish. An angler on Friday caught every fish (5) on a Trout Retriever, Black Lab.
Flows: The “Upper” has remained steady at about 1,100 cfs for about a week now. What a great flow. Consider that this flow is about 25% of what the Deschutes flows. Pretty safe and manageable for bank anglers. A grave yard of stones for boat anglers. Plenty of stuff to bring your boat to a complete stop.
Row vs. Wade
River flows 1,500 cfs and up............advantage driftboat.
River flows 899 cfs and down..........advantage bank access.
River flows in between, duce............first serve.
The fish count is still a bit stale, but river traffic has been low. Anglers that know the river should have no problems locating steelhead for the rest of the season. If you are not familiar with the river, BUT, are familiar with dead drift techniques and can read water you are in. There are plenty of fish in the river to have great days of fishing. It’s just not a spoiling as last year. The Upper River is blessed with oodles of public parks that allow access to miles and miles of top notch holding lies.

Rogue River - Upper - November 14th, 2004
supplied by: Trophy Waters
FISHING: Excellent
Guides and bank fisherman continue to have consistent fishing for Rogue River Steelhead of all sizes. Crowds aren't to bad( by Rogue standards. Empty by Deschutes standards). Any hatchery fish caught receiving a granite shampoo with the opening of bait/gear fishing: the gear crowd has thinned with the declining availability of killable fish. More native steelhead, less fisherman......................Giddy-UP!! Welcome to mid November on the Upper Rogue river. Tight lines..........but...........not toooooo tight...........
Good Luck on the Water

No fishing report since October 5th, what the hell happened? Long periods of absent reports mean:
A) the fishing has been horrible
B) the fishing has been off the hook (pun)
C) Todd claims to have been guiding to much
Or
D) I just recovered from double thumb surgery, because the front pocket on my Simms G3 waders grabs my thumbs when I’m rowing my A$$ off. Incidentally, they named them G3 because it cost three grand for the double thumb surgery.
Okay enough crap, if you picked B and C and a little bit of A you’re a good customer that knows us well. Thanks.
The flow has jumped from 930 cfs to 1,215 cfs. The river has remained clear and the temp is about 43 degrees. Fish count as of October 28th is 9,935 steelhead over Gold Ray, and 3,662 Coho.
The hordes of pontoon traffic have cleared, and the gear fisherman are now legal. If the only way you know to catch steelhead is to wade through the spawing salmon with an egg pattern, your season is over. If you can locate boulder studded runs and shelf rock to fish, game on. The river is fishing very well right now. Do bring your egg patterns to the river, don’t live and die by them. The steelhead can become very insect oriented in November.
Enough verbage, here are the photos from October and early November. They are all dated the same because of when they were entered into the computer, but span back three weeks.

Don’t for get to stop buy the store for the hottest flies, and a great selection of late fall gloves, hats, and jackets to fish in total comfort.
Good Luck on the water…………
