Cole Rivers Hatchery returns as of 3/17/26: New summer steelhead 6, season total 2,150. New winter steelhead 47, season total 94. Anglers, please use proper catch-and-release techniques, such as keeping fish in the water as much as possible and releasing them quickly.
Catch rates have been fairly good upstream of Dodge Bridge. Don't be afraid to change tackle types and re-fish a run if one isn't working.
For up-to-date river levels, check all the USGS Rogue gauges here.
