Hunting, Fishing and Shooting

The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest provides world-class fishing and hunting opportunities for experienced and beginning visitors. Beautiful rivers and streams, high elevation lakes, reservoirs, and small ponds offer just about every setting one could ask for to relax and fish or just enjoy the magnificent scenery. Opportunities abound to pursue or view the legendary Northwest salmon and steelhead, several species of trout, or a variety of warm-water fish. 

The mountain ranges that run through the forest and the valleys are home to deer and elk, and provide numerous remote spaces for hunters.
