Rogue Wilderness has specialized in Salmon
fishing on the Rogue River since the early 1970s. Our
staff of seasoned guides are experts in a variety of
Salmon fishing techniques: fly fishing, spin casting,
bait bouncing, and pulling plugs. All fishing rods and
tackle as well as bait and flies are furnished by the
guides.
In order to provide the kind of individual instruction
we prefer, there is one guide per boat, and each boat
holds only two fishermen. Our McKenzie-style drift boats
are truly the "Rolls Royce" of river craft. Passengers
relax in the luxury of comfortable bucket-type seats
with back rests. The guide sits behind where he can
give instruction and watch the rod tips for the tell-tale
bite.

Fall Chinook and Coho
Salmon |
|
Rogue River Coho Salmon
In recent years, the number
of fall run Chinook and Coho salmon has increased dramatically, providing an
excellent fishery from late August through mid-November. |
Spring Chinook |
Rogue River Chinook Salmon
There is probably no better
fighting or eating fish than the spring Chinook salmon. "Springers" return from
the ocean to the river from Mid-April until the end of July. |
Summer Run Steelhead |
|
Summer Run Steelhead
The summer-run steelhead
begin to arrive in July on the Rogue and fishing remains productive through the
fall. These beautiful, hard fighting fish are taken on flies and lures. In late
August, the famous Rogue "half-pounders" begin their returns from the ocean.
These 14 to 20-inch fish are great fun on light fly rods and spinning
equipment. |
Winter Run Steelhead |
|
Winter Run Steelhead
The large winter steelhead
enter Southern Oregon rivers in January, and fishing continues until April.
This is an excellent fishing opportunity for the serious fisherman. There are
fewer boats, fewer people, and plenty of fish. |

One Day Fishing
Trips |
|
We offer 1 day fishing trips in the Rogue
River as well as on the Checto River (winter only) for both Salmon and
Steelhead. These trips are an excellent value and experience for both the
novice and the expert fisherman.
2-Day
Recreation Section Fishing Trips |
During the fall each year we offer a two
day fishing trip in the Recreation Section of the Rogue River. This trip
features an overnight stay at a historic Rogue River lodge complete with meals.
This stretch of water is especially well know for excellent fly fishing.
|
3-Day and 4-Day Wild
and Scenic Section Fishing Trips |
|
Our most popular multiple day fishing trips begin
in the late summer with our famous Rogue River
Canyon trips; here fishermen enjoy the solitude
of wilderness fishing, as well as spectacular
scenery, thrilling white water, and short sleeve
weather. This combination makes for a fantastic
fishing outing.
 Trips are 3 or 4 days long and cover
about 50 river miles. Midday is spent on shore where a sumptuous buffet is
spread. The guides double as chefs, experienced in the art of riverbank
cooking. Fresh steelhead is skinned and smoked with the leaves of nearby alder
trees; next the fish is grilled over an open fire for a not-to-be forgotten
taste delight.
As the light of day fades, fishermen arrive at one of
our wilderness lodges. Our friendly staff prepares a delicious, family-style
meal with all the home cooked goodness of days gone by. Fishermen relax in the
rustic seclusion of a wilderness lodge and enjoy the comforts of home. Our
lodges feature double occupancy cabins with private bath.
