- Drift Boat Trip
Oregon's Rogue River is an iconic Pacific Northwest steelhead river, and the Upper Rogue near Medford is one of the best places to connect with a steelhead on a fly.
We offer drift boat trips on this varied stretch of river.
There are many different floats and a variety of water types, from shallow riffles to bedrock ledges, boulder gardens and long runs.
Salmonfly Hatch
The Upper Rogue opens up the last week of May and that's perfect timing to catch the salmonfly hatch.
Salmonflies are two-inch long stoneflies that hatch in May and June.
Trout (and occastionally adult steelhead) love to eat these big fluttering bugs on the surface, making for some great dry fly fishing.
Book a day with us in late May or early June for the best action!
Summer Steelhead
Adult steelhead are almost always present in the Upper Rogue to some degree, but they get more numerous in August and the run continues through December.
Prime-time starts mid-September and extends through early December.
We target these fish from drift boats using nymph and indicator techniques.
Winter Steelhead
Our winter-run fish begin to show up in January.
Prime-time is considered to be mid-February through the end of March.
Winter-run fish are often a little bigger than summer fish, with some fish surpassing the ten-pound mark.
