If you are waiting for the Rogue to start to fish well, don't. We were catching fresh fish as early as July, but it seems to have really turned on as of late.
Touvelle area always fishes well this time of year, but fish can really be found anywhere in the upper Rogue!
Swing October Caddis emergers, or my Halloween Fly. Switch to something bigger mid day when the fish are escaping the overhead sun and looking for deeper water.
Of course nymphs always work, I like to throw nymphs that look like Nymphs, but the otis bugs hook their share of fish every year.
My trailing fly in September and October will always be a egg pattern of some sort. Lately I have been fishing pink, and doing well! I know, I know, I have be quoted as saying, "If your not fishing orange your not fishing the the Rogue!" Well, some chrome bullets have made me to eat those words lately!
Remember, pegged beads are illegal during the fly only season!
So if your looking for a time to fish the Rogue for Steelhead, the time is now!

The unseasonably warm weather seems to have somewhat extended the fishing season.
