Half-pounder fishing has been good in the Rogue Canyon, especially below Blossom Bar.  Keep in mind it is now artificial fly and lures only from Foster Creek to Whisky Creek until Oct. 31.

Adult steelhead fishing continues to be good throughout the river. The recent rain and cooler temperatures have pushed some fresh fall chinook upriver. Keep in mind Chinook fishing is now closed upstream of Hog Creek.   

Boaters floating from Hog Creek to Graves Creek should be familiar with the rapids in this section of river, and know their takeouts. Experienced oarsmen/woman are recommended here. There are many BLM public access points to bank fish from Hog Creek to Graves Creek. This is often referred to the “Galice area.”  

As of Tuesday morning, the flow in Grants Pass was approximately 1860 cfs and the temperature averaged 52oF. For those interested in checking conditions before getting on the river, the City of Grants Pass Water Division’s website offers information on river conditions at Grants Pass as well as a link to a river camera.
