Rogue River Fishing Trip Itinerary

Logistics

The day your trip starts you need to arrive at the Rogue River Center at 210 Merlin Rd, Merlin Oregon at day break. The time of year will dictate when this is, but it can be as early as 5:45 AM. If you are driving head west off of Interstate 5 at exit 61. At the Rogue River Center you will leave your vehicle and be shuttled to the river where your guide and boat will be waiting for you. The exact day section floated will depend upon the time of year and river flows. We like to leave these choices to the experts.

Boats

Our trips all travel in a Mckenzie River style drift boat with two passangers up front and one oarsman/guide sitting towards the rear. This style of boat has a long history on the Rogue River and has proven time and again to be the top choice for serious anglers. Our boats are equiped with heaters under the front deck to help warm you up on those chilly winter steelhead mornings.
