‍One of the original eight rivers established with passage of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, the Rogue flows 215 miles from its headwaters high in the Cascades near Crater Lake National Park until it enters the Pacific Ocean near Gold Beach, OR. The Rogue River is home to one of the most abundant populations of summer steelhead in the entire Pacific Northwest, while also hosting a strong winter run which establishes the Rogue as a top-tier destination. Its many runs are steeped in history of flyfishing and were made popular in the early 1900's by adventure writer Zane Grey. Floating the river by drift boat provides access to the best steelhead holding water and will give you ample opportunity to link into your piece of history. The dry line swung fly approach is the most nostalgic way to target Rogue River steelhead in summer and fall, but we will use both dryline and sink tips depending on weather and run conditions. Nymphing tactics will give beginner and advanced anglers alike a better shot at encountering more fish on a day to day basis. Whichever is your preferred approach our premier guide experience will provide you with the best of opportunities to landing our beautiful Rogue River steelhead. Steelhead encountered on the rogue are in the 20-34 inch range and will challenge anglers with aerobatic and powerful runs.
