River tempature has dropped on the Rogue River and our chinook salmon are starting to bite. We had a  great day today, first of all it was not crowded like it was yesterday. We hooked 7 King salmon today and landed 5. Weather was awesome, it showered in the morning and was done by 11.00, perfect day!!!! It looking like it's going to be a good season!!!!!

Hello everyone who is reading this. I have just arrived here down on the lower Rogue River and to be honest my first two days of guiding was pretty slow I actually went to the bay one day and there was fish rolling everywhere. We did get one. Water tempature dropped in the river and they just started to move fast into the system. We fished today and we landed four salmon and one steelhead. I did not take pictures due to my camera was out of juice because I forgot my charger, but it is on the way and there will be Pictures coming. I will be here until the 25th of October.

     
Carson's Guide  Service is back from Alaska and ready to start
working the Lower Rogue River  here in  Southern Oregon! Since I have been
home I have worked a couple of days  and had great success! The first day I
fished was on the middle part of the  Rogue ( Aug. 9 ) and we hooked and
landed two salmon and two steelhead.  Yesterday we fished right in my back yard
on the Upper Rogue and hooked four  salmon and two steelhead. Army
Core Engineers who owns the Lost Creek Dam on the  Rogue river have
just started to let out water for our Fall salmon. That's going  to
get those salmon moving up river and start our Lower Rogue River season!
  Ocean fishing for salmon as been really, really good this summer on the Oregon
  coast. We are looking forward to a great season!

Now that's a big Rogue River Hatchery Steelhead!!!!

August 9th
Fishing the Rogue River out of Grants Pass area today. We had a good day! We hooked two salmon and landed both of them and we hooked & landed two adult steelhead as well. Looking forward to the Lower Rogue next week!

That's a nice 24lber!!!!!

I flew home from AK on August 1st back home here to good old Southern Oregon.  The first day I fished on the Rogue River we landed two King Salmon and two Steelhead. Awesome day! Ocean reports from Northern California to Southern Oregon have been real good for King Salmon fishing. Lots of limits have been caught. Lots of those salmon are getting ready to push into our rivers anytime now, I'm looking forward to fishing the Lower Rogue River here next week. I will keep you posted!
