the Rogue River IS OPEN and the Rogue River has no special limitations on the catch. You may take two adult salmon each. Fin-clipped hatchery or wild. Salmon are coming in on the tides and aclimating before heading up river. Every day is another opportunity to catch fall Chinook. The upper Rogue will close early to protect spawning beds, but the estuary will remain open all year with no reduction from last year. Come fish with us in Gold beach.
