Will start my Fall season tomorrow. This 30” fish was taken five years ago today.

Right on .... good luck to you Langenbeck. Beautiful fish. I am planning on spending a few weeks this month on the Klamath, but due to the fire not sure how much is going to be open in the middle river where I fished mostly last year. Might also drive up and fish the Rogue for the first time. Are the fish pretty spread out, throughout the entire river during mid-late October?

By mid-Oct fish are spread throughout the entire Rogue. Late October is usually the peak of the season.

Just got back from 3 days on the Rogue. Fished from below Grants Pass to MacGregor Park and points in between. Got one or two grabs, but zero fish, except for "quarter pounders". I asked the Ashland Fly Shop where the fish were and they said "the Klamath". Fished near Happy Camp on my way home yesterday. Hooked and lost a nice fish right off the bat and that was it.

Sounds like a steelhead trip! I herd some of Happy Camp burned? Hopefully I get up to the Klamath in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the report.

The forest was burned down to the Hwy in places upstream of Happy Camp. I didn't see anything burned in HappyCamp itself, but I didn't leave the Hwy so there may be damage closer to the hills.

Gotcha, I like the market there. Lots of good stuff in there. Hoping to get up there early next month.
Thank you for the info.

We had a customer who wanted to go to Morrison's Lodge on the Rogue river below Grants Pass.

He could not get away to go on our Kiene's hosted group October trips so he went by himself in early November, maybe 15 years ago.

He did very well............
