Morrison's Rogue River Lodge and Raft Trips

Fall fishing for 2008 produced some great news for the Rogue River fishery. First was the huge increase in the number of Rogue River “half-pounders”, approximately 175,000 at early counts compared to 17,000 last season. Not many of the fish made the migration as far as Grants Pass, but we will see a percentage of that run return as adult steelhead in the next couple years. This should equate to a few thousand more adults in the system. Next, we saw an increase in the “mini-jacks” or two year old Chinook salmon as well. This run more than doubled since last season. The “mini-jacks” return indicates good ocean-survival rates for spring Chinook that left the Rogue last year. These Chinook will start contributing to the river fishery next year. Both of these factors should increase the Rogue River fishery for years to come. The river has continued to fish well and the summer steelhead have been much larger in the last few years. With anticipation of a strong run we are all looking forward to wonderful fishing season on the Rogue.
