Rogue and Applegate Reports

Well we went down with Jon Thursday and went 5 for 8... awesome day on the water with a bunch of bites. Fished applegate Friday and had a couple nice bites... positive that they were trout. Same story for today.

Hit Robertson after fishing the gate Friday and got a couple HARD hits that we couldn't connect on. No jig fish.

Very cool! Where those steelhead with Jon on the middle Rogue?

Yeap... but it seems the day we went everyone was hooking atleast one or two fish. Just my observation.

I caught my first steelhead in over 10 years, tuesday of this week. Got her on a little cleo 2/5 white and red near touvelle. She was only 5 pounds but tasted good. I ended buying new gear instead of using that big red bulky 1990's abu garcia spinning combo lol.

Im now using a Shimano Symetre, with a 9'6 okuma celilo. have yet to get a fish on the new rod but only tried it once, on thursday. I plan on fishing the upper river this weekend. Any of you gonna be out there?

What the heck...Chad do you fish high or low in the applegate?

Bailey · by **Bailey** on Tue Feb 22, 2011 12:22 am

Ive been fishing nearly every day, and Im not looking for any secret spots or anything, but maybe a little insight on why I am not catching anything?

The applegate is a challenge sometimes. Ill give you a hint. We caught fish in the lower river and the upper! =))

Keep at it there will be more fish as the season gets later. :-BD

See Patrick. Maybe my report ain't bs after all, huh?
Anyways, I ended up all the way at Cantrell today and was fishing a pool with a float and jig, long distance released two and released another. Forgot my phone so no pics.

Bailey · by **Bailey** on Tue Feb 22, 2011 5:15 pm

Where are the pics!? Im excited!

Oh yeah...Caught 4 today

greg · by **greg** on Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:01 pm

Lets go to that river Saturday Patrick! Haha. Bet we can double that! Lol

I think that the applegate steelhead have a higher IQ than the steelhead in other rivers. Thats why they are harder to catch.

Bailey · by **Bailey** on Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:59 pm

Greg...no probably not. haahaha

But in all seriousness, i think we are supposed to have some weather, so the rivers might be up by the weekend

fish_on · by **fish_on** on Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:24 pm

Whats the eta on those pics chad? How many fish did you guys hook?

greg · by **greg** on Fri Mar 04, 2011 2:38 pm

Well I finally got a lil sick fishing for trout and fished where it was good yesterday on the applegate. Hooked 2. One dogged me pretty bad. And now I'm sitting upriver of that spot waiting for fish_on to get here. Thinking the fish should've moved upriver a lil bit.

i hate to say this, but the fish on the gate have come and gone.

sure they will keep trickling in, but with that long period of early high water the main wave came up. everyone says the fish are late this year. i think its just a crappy run. hope im wrong.
