I live in Orange County, CA and I am pretty open as to when I can go. I would like to go before it gets too cold though...so end of this month or next would be good.
Maybe repeating myself here some-what:
Head for Medford (or other local closer community) for 'housing' then fish the top one mile of the Rogue River below the hatchery at Wm. Jess Dam. River is damned at that point (and that's where the hatchery is located) so fish 'stack up.'
Fishing reg's are in a bit of flux (so which PNW River's isn't this season?)
so do a on line check for the latest 'can do.' As to this bit above it has a tonne of foot access and the only thing you'll need (extra) is a couple of bucks if its a paid parking spot. Most of the major one's are at this point. The parking 'thing' is good at any of the major 'pay' points in both Jackson and Josephine (next county north) with little exception.
For trout fishing go above the damned lake and you're in a totally different world. Fire service roads are great so even 'street tyres' will cover 90++% of where you're going to drive along the river.
As to weather, expect bright blue sky's, but the mornings will be down in the very low 40's at best.
But at 70 in the afternoon.
