Upper Rouge River Salmon Float Trip..Fantastic fun fill 3 days of salmon and steelhead fishing the Upper Rogue River with guide Harold Hanson with his drift boat. Score 1st day hooked 5 landing 2 with one released wild fish (estimate 25 pounds) and one keeper. We caught all fish on 1st day with sardine wrapped Kwikfish and nothing caught on roe...2nd day hooked 9 landing 2 with one wild released fish and one keeper. One on salmon roe and rest on Kwikfish...... 3rd day hooked 7 landing 4 with one steelhead kept and releasing a big wild salmon (estimate 25 pounds). We stayed at Edgewater Inn in Shady Cove and we launched at Richard Cole launch and floated approximately 14 miles. Early morning producing the most activity. Great weather and safe drift. Highly recommended float........... Anglers were Bill Shelton and Bill Gygax. We had one incredible shot of a large salmon jumping out of the water and throwing a lure back at us and impelling the seat...Perfect shot angle with a slow motion of that clip. Lots of scenery, rapids, and saw eagle, osprey, deer and various birds ducks and geese. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znd1heibKXE&feature=channel_page
