My boyfriend and I just returned from a 4-day wilderness fishing trip on the Rogue River with 5 other couples. The trip begins at the Grants Pass boat ramp and takes out just up river from Gold Beach at Quosatana Creek. The largest portion of the trip is through the Siskiyu National Forest and the scenery is breathtaking. Terry and his group of guides are amazing; navigating riffles and other obstacles while entertaining the group, baiting hooks, untangling lines and oh yes, netting fish. I have to give particular kudos to Jay. I am a novice fisherperson..... DON'T fish :) Jay was extremely patient and had me catching fish within 30 minutes of hitting the water. (My largest was a 27" salmon!!) And when you go be sure to take the 30 ft leap from Sports Illustrated. The bragging rights are great!!The mornings start early with a carafe of hot coffee near at hand. Lunch is grilled on the shore consisting of freshly caught salmon/steelhead, a variety of delicious home made salads (potato, broccoli, pasta, etc.) fresh tomatoes and cucumbers all followed by yummy pie, cookies and even ice cream for dessert. Dinner is prepared by the guides the first night and the lodge chefs the remainder of the trip. Evenings are spent at one of the lodges along the trek which range from rudimentary to very nice but all set in the beautiful natural Siskiyu Forest. I was just happy to have a hot shower after fishing all day!If you have the opportunity to fish the Rogue, check out Grieve's! You'll be glad you did :)

My husband and I just returned from a 4 day trip with 3 other couples for a Salmon fishing trip on the Rogue River. Our reservations where made thru Grieve's Guide Services and they were great to work with and all services could not have been any better. The transportation, food provided during shore lunches and at the lodges was more than you could ask for - You will not go hungry. I even added the complication of food sensitivities of Gluten and Dairy and everyone accommodated this need without any problem. The three cabins we stayed in were very rustic but it is all part of the adventure - and the owners were delightful and very helpful. The guides, John, Mark, Randy, Ronnie and Don were professional, hilarious, knowledgeable and very hardworking and after 4 days felt like family. We all caught fish every day and the scenery along the river was gorgeous. You won't be disappointed!!
