Trout, Steelhead
Catches Reported
On Rogue River
Upper river residents along
the Rogue offered further evi
dence yesterday that steelhead
and trout are being hooked and
landed on that section of the
stream. 4
They indicate good fishing in
the area from Shady Cove, five
miles upstream.
Clyde Stafford, Trail, report
edly" landed one steelhead Fri
day and hooked three and land
ed" two of them the day before.
Weights of the fish were listed
at three and four pounds. An
other resident of the Joe Chevi
gney had three steelhead on his
line and landed a three pounder
using a fly. Catches of a 5Vi
pound steelhead and a jack sal
mon were reported for Al Rodg
ers. Gordon Ross and two sons, of
Los Angeles, didn't have much
luck on their first tries at stream
fishing but given a few tips
caught 12 trout of nine and 10
inches Friday. That's being tak
en as an indication that fish can
be taken by those who have the
know how. The Rosses used eggs
and small spinners.
Chuck Workman of Rogue Ri
ver lodge said that anglers can
stop at his place or at Cove hard
ware in Shady Cove for infor
mation on where there is good
fishing. He has sought to dis
count reports that Rogue angling
has been poor.
