Here's looking at you boy's

Tougher but we still got them today , the fishing continues to be fair with great average fish being taken, the main bite seems to still in the lower river, no constant pattern for everyday use , spinner's somedays bait the next , its almost a guess to see what will draw the perfect strike every morning , water conditions and temps seem to be stable at present , with tides fish coming on both sides of the tide , good luck and good fishing

Doc Freeman put it to the Rogue Chinook

Well the fishing continues as planned with a split tide mid -day , the push in the am seemed to not have the fish amounts that we like , through the high a few fish , and the out go wasn't the hottest bite, that's fishing, with water temps and tides at perfect for fish movement , they are just not showing in the numbers that we would like to see, but for a Springer fisherman, that's all part of the game , one day you rip them , for all the good reason , the next day conditions are at prime and it just doesn't happen. Doc drilled a dandy even with the condition tough, I love to see the purple blush on the backs of these fresh fish as always on the Rogue, #6 bear valley brass today, see you on the Rogue , and bring your spinner box, and after fishing , you can stop in at Spinner's Steak and Chops on Hwy101 downtown, and eat one of the best meals on the Southern Oregon Coast, or up the river at the Riverview for the special cold beer, and good eats , will see you on the creek ...........

Skip rips into a nice Spring Chinook

Charlie and the boys didn't have a lot of time in between business , but it was time enough to rip into a Rogue Springer, the fish are in the transition between committing to move up the river as normal or Tulle' some of the guides are fishing the lower end of the river at the lower end of the tide and getting fish, I cant say anymore , without handing you the rod , get out of your chair and get with it , chrome on the Rogue.

It's all about water

The Rogue River conditions are continuing to improve day by day. The fishing has picked up in the Lower River , the reason why is Ocean conditions having temps in the 52-54f, these fish do not want to commit they come in with the tides , and some go the rest tulle' back out. The one good thing is that water conditions in the river are at best , with the temps raising as well, a nice grade of fish are entering the systems and numbers will follow, see you soon on the Rogue

Spring Chinook water update

Well the big storm on Saturday , just about blew as hard as it could with rain , more wind , and hail to boot. I for one didn't fish cause I didn't think I could keep the boat in line to fish the way I like , good choice for the Boss as it turned out , my clients were happy , and they'll do it another day. Water flows have jumped to 11,400 CFS this morning at Agness, w/3000 CFS in the other streams , conditions as of this report are 51.2f , with still climbing water , when the fall occurs it will be the bite that the Rogue has been looking for this week , all of the fish that we have boated as of late have had all small bait fish in them , that why we haven't been seeing allot of fish cause I think they been outside on the feed this last storm will change all of that , so to put it in a nut shell , get some days off , load in the rig and head for Gold Beach, to enjoy Spring Chinook when this water turns the other way , see you soon enough say .................

Rogue Spring Chinook , are on the move

The Rogue Chinook are on the move with water temps moving up slowly, water conditions are near perfect , and trends look to be good, I heard a guy caught a fish on a k-16 yesterday , and spot he fished I've never ever seen a fish taken there? Go figure, just when you thought you had the dialed. The bites are still coming slow with the temps at the 48F mark but should improve, hats off to Charlie Pearson, we ripped them again, and that's for the huge box of oranges, get your dates ready for the Rogue River Spring Chinook, your only hours away , from putting one of these baby's in the box...........
