Beginning in early August good numbers of these hard fighting Summer Steelhead begin to show up in the lower Rogue River.
Many of them are what are referred to as “half-pounders”(13-18 inches) on their first trip back to freshwater.
Though fairly small, they are great sport on fly rods or light spinning gear. For the best results during hotter weather, we fish early to get the best catch. Most half-pounders are caught at this end of the Rogue — Some of these fish are on their second or third migration and weigh up to 10 pounds!
