Buck Cowdin and Richard Basse scored with 3 taggers and an angry jack! 2 @ 21 #’s, and 1 @ 25 #’s!!!

Rain?  What rain?  After the storm that came through last night, I wasn’t sure what to expect…apparently, some nice fish is what I should’ve expected!  Past few days have been outstanding fishing in the bay, with good to excellent fishing up river.  Catching them on spinning bait anchovies with green on green, or brass/gold.  Also caught 2 today on a gumdrop spinner.

 

If you’re thinking about fishing for chinooks on the Rogue – NOW would be a good time!!!

Been a bit since I updated properly – although I am keeping up with Facebook\Fishchinook.

Been a busy couple of weeks.  Some days had lots of fish caught, others had barely any.  The fish are still coming in good numbers, but they’re not hanging in the bay at the moment.  Most fish are blowing right through and heading upstream, which will probably be the action for the rest of the season.  Still catching fish on both bait and spinners – brass\gold\green\chartreuse still being the colors of choice.

How about some pictures?!!!

Slower day on the water.  No real “bite” going on, and the fish catching was spaced throughout the day.  Took out 3 clients – Jared, Kyle, and Dave – ended up with 1 jack, 1 tag jack, and Dave’s 21# Chinook seen below!

Well, we’ve caught a few fish this week – both on spinner bait and straight spinners.  Green/Chartreuse are still the “Go To” colors – but I’ve seen fish caught on brass, blue/green, green/green, silver, and even one other lure that looked like a backwards dragonfly!

Took yesterday off to recover from the long weekend fishing with my dad, Shane, and on Sunday – we also had Alex from Redding, CA with us.  Friday and Saturday were longer days than most as we didn’t manage to get a fish into the boat (very few people did).  Sunday, we started out hot at 8am when my dad hooked up with a feisty 20 #’er!  WTG Dad!  At 9am, Alex hooked up with another 20 #’er!

Today, went out with Gil Nessier again – I hooked up with a 28.71 # Chinook that took me about 20 minutes to get up to the surface to be able to net it!  And then Gil scored with his own 20 #’er!  All in all – still a productive day!

One word: excellent.

The best fishing has been on the Rogue in a few years.

One problem: water.

They are going to start releasing water from the dam upstream on either Tuesday or Wednesday.  That will have the effect of lowering the water temperature in the river and the salmon will more than likely NOT hold in the Rogue Bay and will be moving upstream rapidly.  In years past, this has made fishing in the Bay extremely spotty.  It looks like upstream anchored and drift fishing will become much more the norm for fall fishing (similar to spring fishing).  We’ll have to wait and see.

Meanwhile…

Y’all need to book.  Fishing is termed EXCELLENT!  They are releasing a cold water slug on Sunday from the dam – which means the fish currently in the bay will run upstream.  BUT…it’s only going to get good again – August is an excellent month to catch the mighty KING CHINOOKS!!  Book your trip today – I’m tired of filling up my own freezer…

I’ve created a new site on Google+ that you can access here:  Google+/FishChinook.com.

If you’re on Google+, it might be a little easier way for you to keep on the activities and specials as they happen (and know when the salmon fishing is HOT HOT HOT!)

 

Remember:  Guided Rogue River Salmon Fishing Trips are always available – you can check my calendar online, or just give me a call when you want to book!  LET’S GO SALMON FISHING!!!!!

Rogue River Fishing Conditions 7/29/2014:

After a tough few days – bite seemed to pick up a little today.  More fish (and more bigger fish) were caught today than in the prior few days.  The 15#’er above was caught on a green and yellow spinner just above the Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge (and I must say – the man handling the fish was a real pro!).

Fishing looks pretty promising for the near future – don’t forget to check your calendar and book your dates today!

Current Rogue River Fishing Conditions: Rain didn’t help…mostly.

Current Rogue River Fishing Conditions:

The rain yesterday cooled off the bay and a bunch of fish took off upriver.  With the wind today, and many of the fish taking off upriver – it was definitely tough fishing.  Although – not tough enough for Larry Bakin:

Current Rogue River Fishing Conditions:

Howdy howdy fisherpeople!  Chinooks are stacking up in the bay daily – while some are taking off up river, most of the fish will stack up and wait for cooler water to come down.  Current water temperature at Agness is around 76 F, so the salmon prefer to mostly hang where the cooler ocean water mixes with the warm river water.  Fish are starting to be caught fairly consistently on plain anchovies or spinner bait rigs, with some even being caught on non-baited spinners.  Chartreuse/Green/Yellow seems to be the color of choice.  Fishing is still a little slow, but is picking up and will only get better for the next month or so.  20-25 pounders are pretty normal with bigger fish being caught at times.  Saw one 35lb+ fish pulled in yesterday afternoon.  Hearing reports that summer steelhead are in full swing side-drifting roe (I really need to get up there and check out tuna balls!).  There are some salmon night-running upstream, but most are still holding in the bay.  Have one report that there are a lot of salmon sitting off-shore in the ocean waiting to come in.  Haven’t heard any definitive counts, but it does look promising in the near future as these fish continue to move into the bay.
