Rogue River Spring Chinook Salmon

The Rogue River is one of the best Spring Chinook Salmon fishing rivers in the world. We not only have great runs of Spring Chinook Salmon but our Spring Chinook Salmon are caught only hours out of the ocean so they are the best eating Spring Chinook Salmon to be found.

pic2-tn02 The Spring Chinook Salmon averages about 20# with a Spring Chinook to 40# every year. We will use our 24' custom built power boat to access the Lower 37 miles of the Lower Rogue River fishing from an anchored boat on inside corners to intercept fast move Spring Chinook. Best months for Spring Chinook on the Lower Rogue River is April - May - June. We will begin fishing Spring Chinook in late March depending on river temperature and river flow.
