FISH DIVISION
Regulating harvest, protection, and enhancement of fish populations

Famous for its chinook salmon and steelhead fishing and white water rafting, the Rogue River flows about 215 miles from the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach.

The Rogue has the largest wild fish populations of any of Oregon’s coastal rivers and the production program out of Cole Rivers Hatchery is one of the biggest in the state. The Rogue may also be one of the most researched rivers in Oregon with many state and federal fishery projects conducted over the course of more than 60 years.

Oregon's Kitchen Table: Community Engagement on the Upper Rogue River

Conflicting uses of the Rogue River between the old Gold Ray Dam site and Lost Creek Dam over the last few years spurred ODFW to collaborate with Oregon State Parks, Oregon State Marine Board, and the Oregon Department of State Lands.

In early 2024, the agencies partnered with Oregon's Kitchen Table, a statewide community engagement program to give Jackson County residents and visitors a clear way to express their values, beliefs, and expectations of this area of the river.

OKT will give the community opportunities (in several languages) to have their voices heard. This input will inform the agencies' decision-making now and into the future.
