Gold Beach is world famous for its incredible Chinook Salmon
runs. Springers begin enter the Rogue beginning in March
and continue coming into the lower river until late June.
Springers are considered the finest eating salmon found
anywhere.
Beginning in July, Summer Chinook begin their spawning migration
into the Rogue. Due to lower river levels and warm water
temperatures during the summer, they hold for several weeks or
longer in the estuary area. This provides excellent
trolling conditions until late October during most years.
When the first good rains arrive, the Fall Chinook Salmon return
to their home stream to spawn. They generally begin to
arrive in late October and remain through December.
Winter brings out the real anglers, especially for steelhead –
one of the sport’s great challenges. December through March is
one of the locals’ favorite times of year, because Gold Beach
typically has multiple days of sunshine and mild weather.
Steelhead fishing reaches its peak in February, with
opportunities to cast in as many as five rivers within a
five-minute to one-hour drive from the center of town.
Now the ocean is a different kettle of fish altogether – lingcod
and rockfish at this time of year – and Gold Beach offers the
best ocean bottom fishing opportunities on the Oregon Coast.
It’s done just a few miles offshore in 40 to 125 feet of water,
with great catches of excellent-eating seafood. If you’re
looking to charter a boat in the winter, it’s best to call ahead, because weather definitely affects
accessibility for safety reasons, current conditions and
anglers’ preferences. Ocean charters can be arranged for parties
of two or more. |
