ROGUE - The upper Rogue is a bit slow for summer steelhead now that the chinook spawn is over and the steelhead are less apt to be so myopically interested in single salmon eggs. The middle Rogue continues to be a good place primarily for catch-and-release fishing for wild summer steelhead, and the lower Rogue bay has slowed for a mix of a few late coho and chinook as coastal anglers this week scrambled elsewhere for fresh chinook.

COASTWIDE - Small-craft advisories, hazardous sea warnings and gale-wind warnings are in effect across the Oregon Coast into the weekend. When you add in the heavy rains forecast for the south coast, it looks a lot like an inland weekend for Southern Oregon anglers.

AGATE - The lake remains low, but fishing is fair for the 500 large rainbows and 150 trophy rainbows stocked there recently. The fish are widely spread out. No motors are allowed, so trolling is out. Wind-drifting worms works well.

ROGUE - The upper Rogue is still pretty good for a mix of bait, plug and fly-fishing for summer steelhead, while the middle Rogue continues to be a good place for catch-and-release fishing for wild summer steelhead, and the lower Rogue bay has slowed for a mix of coho and chinook as coastal anglers scramble to nearby streams with fresher fish.

AGATE - The lake continues to be very low, but fishing is fair for the 500 large rainbows and 150 trophy rainbows stocked there recently. The fish are widely spread out. No motors are allowed, so trolling's out. Wind-drifting worms works well.

COASTWIDE - Small-craft advisories are in effect today, and forecasts indicate that early-morning jigging for black rockfish and lingcod should be good. But look for stiff winds and some choppy seas from this cold front, so stay close to port for that quick run home.

ROGUE - The upper Rogue is good for a mix of bait, plug and fly-fishing for summer steelhead, while the middle Rogue continues to hold its own for summer steelhead and the lower Rogue bay continues to hold a few chinook and virtually no pressure.

COASTWIDE - Small-craft advisories are in effect today, and some stiff winds and big swells are forecast to continue into the weekend. The seas have been rough all week, and that has kept ocean angling down to almost nothing.

COASTWIDE - Small-craft advisories are in effect today, and some stiff winds and big swells are forecast to continue into the weekend. The seas have been rough all week, and that has kept ocean angling effort way down. Those who venture out might get in a little close-shore jigging for lingcod early in the morning, and that's been good at most ports.
