There’s no better way to spend a day than exploring on the Upper Rogue River. Whether you want to land a huge trout or just splash and play on a scenic raft trip, your first stop should be The Fishin Hole Fly Shop in Shady Cove.
Before you head off into the wilderness, you need to stop by and say hello to the folks at The Fishin Hole Fly Shop.
You're in luck! This tackle shop has a deli tucked right inside. The Picnic Basket Deli offers a large menu filled with deli sandwiches, grinders, soup, salads, and even breakfast sandwiches. You can also load up on snacks to take along on your trip.
These guys have extensive knowledge of the Upper Rogue River, and they can give you the latest advice about lures, prime fishing spots, and more. Better yet, hire a guide to take you on your fishing excursion!
Whether you've never been fishing and want to learn or you're an experienced angler who just wants a knowledgeable guide who knows the river like the back of their hand, a guided fishing trip may be the best thing you'll do all summer.
If splashing and playing in the river is more your style, rent a raft from The Fishin Hole Fly Shop. Your rental includes the raft, dry bag, ice chest, water guns, paddles, and life vests. They'll also shuttle you to and back from the put-in spot on the river.
If you'd feel more comfortable exploring the river with a guide, the company also offers guided scenic trips. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some hors d'oeuvres while you soak in the scenery (and be prepared for a water fight or two).
