Ashland & the Upper Rogue
Located a mere 45 minutes from the prime summer steelhead waters of the upper Rogue, Ashland provides a charming, civilized hub for fishing the upper Rogue. Prime summer steelhead fishing extends from August through November and can be incredibly productive for anglers of all skill levels. With many fine restaurants, the renowned Shakespeare Festival, elegant accommodations and shopping, Ashland has become a popular fall destination for couples. This is truly one of the only places in the world where you can put in a full day on the river, enjoy a gourmet meal in town, and then polish off the evening with a Shakespeare play.
