Darian: I presume you are coming to Oregon looking for trout/steelhead. Forget the North Fork of the Umpqua until at least early July-it really fishes best in October. The Dechutes would be good in late June especially with low water conditions but can be quite crowded during that time of year.
What about still water? Klamath Lake near Rocky Point is usually good at this time of year. Also East Lake or Hosmer Lake.
If I were coming to Oregon to stream fish for trout/steelhead I would come in late Oct/early Nov to fish the Rogue and then would go wade fish the North Fork of the Umpqua. Also the upper Rogue near Shady Cove can be quit good the first two weeks of April for winter steelhead.
