Experience Pristine Fishing in Rogue Siskiyou National Forest with Salmon King Lodge Guide Service

Explore the breathtaking Rogue River as it winds through the Rogue Siskiyou National Forest while enjoying a fishing experience with the Salmon King Lodge Guide Service. As one of the privileged holders of the sought-after Lower Rogue Forest Service permits, this top-notch guide service offers a tranquil escape from the crowded lower Rogue into the pristine wilderness of the Rogue Siskiyou National Forest.

Join seasoned guide Bill Divens for an exhilarating day of Salmon or Steelhead fishing aboard his spacious 25’ Willie Jet boat. Recognized as one of the finest and most well-equipped vessels on the Rogue, it ensures your utmost comfort. With optimized high-quality gear comprising Lamiglas rods and Daiwa line-counter reels, you'll have all you need to excel in this fishery. Rest assured, this is a private charter, so the boat is exclusively reserved for your group.

The winter season from January to March witnesses an abundance of Steelhead. You can keep wild Steelhead over 24 inches along with hatchery Steelhead, making it a thrilling adventure. These excursions mostly take place in the Rogue Siskiyou National Forest, offering a serene environment.

In March, the Rogue welcomes the arrival of spring Chinook, which can be caught until mid-June. Anchor in the gentler inside seams and employ anchovies or spinners to reel in these migrating Salmon. Away from the bustling lower Rogue, you'll have the opportunity to experience the thrill of fishing for what many consider to be the most delectable salmon in the world.

The fall run of Chinook commences in July, gains momentum in August, and reaches its peak in September. Weather permitting, the majority of your fishing endeavors will be focused in the National Forest. The King run lasts through October, with a late run of sizable lower river spawners joining the river.

Witness the awe-inspiring run of Coho ("Silver") Salmon from mid-September to mid-October. Known for their extraordinary fighting spirit, these Silvers are just as acrobatic as Steelhead and exhibit the tenacity of Kings. Utilizing spinners, small plugs, and anchovies, you can target and reel in these captivating fighters.
