New Rogue River Fishing Regulations

The Fish and Wildlife Commission recently adopted regulations allowing Rogue River anglers to keep up to two wild Fall Chinook salmon a day with a season limit of 10, as of July 11, 2009.  Rogue fishing limits are now "two chinook a day with clipped or nonclipped fins, and no more than 10 [wild] for the season".

Ross Bell Guide Service

Enjoy year round Rogue River fishing!!  The Rogue is located in Gold Beach, Oregon, and remains one of eight rivers in the United States designated as wild and scenic.  Enjoy spectacular river views where wildlife abounds (Osprey, Snowy Egret, Blue Heron, deer, elk, otter, beaver and more).  Come fish for Coho, Chinook and Steelhead!!

I've lived in Gold Beach for 51 years, fished on the Rogue my entire life, and have been a Rogue River fishing guide for 20+ years.  I use a covered (and heated) 23’ boat with a 6 ½’ bottom that will provide comfort and relaxation throughout your trip.

Full day trips:

SPRING – April through June (Chinook salmon)
These salmon range from 10 to 30+ lbs. and are considered the “best eating”.

FALL –July through mid October
Troll the Rogue River Bay for Chinook and Coho Salmon.

WINTER – December, January through March (Steelhead)
Ranging in size from 4 to 8 lbs.

All fishing gear provided (vests, poles, bait).  All ages welcome at the same rate.  Complimentary hot breakfast served on board during the Spring Chinook salmon season.

Enjoy Rogue River fishing and discover yourself ... one fish at a time.
