The Umpqua system has one of the most prolific runs of steelhead anywhere with good numbers returning every year. They also happen to run quite a bit larger than fish from other systems with fish in the upper teen to twenty pound category not uncommon. If you are looking for a trophy steelhead the Umpqua is a good bet. Side drifting, bobber dogging and fly fishing egg patterns are most effective. The North Umpqua is almost exclusively catch and release with the occasional hatchery summer steelhead being caught. The south has good numbers of hatchery fish if you’re looking to take fish home. Fishing is good here from January through April.
