Grand River Fishing Report RSS

Once again it’s that time of the year when we say goodbye to the steelhead that filled our rivers since October! It has been a great season by all accounts. I would like to thank all my clients that fished steelhead with me this year, definitely had its ups and downs but over all it was an awesome season! Now where does the season actually stand for the remaining days? Well, a lot of fish are up on redds doing what they came up river to do. There are a few fresh fish around but it seems to be the very tail end on...

Well it was spring weather for a short while but as I am writing this report it’s snowing. But with all this change where does it put us in the steelhead run… Well from everything I have seen down town Grand Rapids and on the Rogue we are right in the peak of the run. With the rain in the forecast on Friday, rivers will once again be on the rise which could bring us another push of fresh fish. So far this spring the run has been a lot of fun personally and with clients we have done very well this...

So if you plan on fishing this weekend it should be very good, so get out there!!!  The Grand River is running at 6,500 cfs right now, which...

Another week of relatively mild weather has brought us another step closer to spring. Fishing has been steady and improving after the high water last week. Although there are some cooler temps in the forecast, expect good fishing to continue through the weekend and into next week.  There are a good mix of winter hold over fish and bright steelhead in the system. As expected, high water last week brought some fresh fish up river and shuffled the cards a bit.  The Grand River remains quite high and dirty, though it has dropped since last week. The Rogue River has...
