About Rogue Fly Fish

A calm place to check the river before you step in.

Why This Exists

Rogue Fly Fish was built out of a simple frustration: too much guessing, too many tabs, and not enough clear information when it actually matters.

River conditions, weather shifts, regulations, and seasonal movement all affect how a day on the Rogue unfolds. Most of that information already exists — it’s just scattered, buried, or hard to interpret quickly.

This site brings those pieces together in one place, presented clearly and without noise. No predictions. No hot spots. Just the information you need to make your own call.

How It’s Built

Rogue Fly Fish pulls directly from public data sources like the USGS and ODFW, then organizes that information by river, section, and season.

The goal isn’t to tell you where to fish — it’s to help you understand what the river is doing right now, how it’s been behaving, and what rules apply where you’re standing.

Everything here is designed to be readable on a phone at the tailgate, or on a desktop while planning a trip.

This site is built and maintained by someone who fishes the Rogue regularly — not a content team, not an affiliate network, and not an algorithm.

What You’ll Find Here

Live River Conditions

Real-time USGS flow, stage, and temperature data — plus short-term and longer-term trends so you can see where the river is heading.

Weather & Context

Forecasts that matter on the water: temperature, wind, precipitation, and timing — not just a generic weather app view.

ODFW Rules, Simplified

Oregon fishing regulations organized by zone and river, including split seasons and section-specific rules.

Seasonal Awareness

Solunar references, hatchery return data, and historical patterns — useful context, not guarantees.

No Noise, No Hype

No ads. No sponsored picks. No algorithms pushing content. Just tools built for anglers who already know what they’re doing.

Steelhead Sam

A quiet helper if you want it — there to answer questions or point you to the right information, never to replace experience.

Know Before You Cast

Rogue Fly Fish isn’t here to promise fish. It’s here to help you read the river a little better before you step in.


Built using public data from USGS and ODFW. Always confirm in-season regulations.
