In September local anglers related some amazing fishing stories -and who doesn’t love a good fish story? I look forward to October hatches, and some good top water action.

I was fishing a promising run for trout when I hooked a smallmouth bass. A couple casts later I brought in a walleye, then a rainbow. All caught on Emile Contant’s Sore Lip Jigs.

Fishing the Columbia River has been literally up and down in the month of July. The fishing was great in the first week or so, challenging after that, but getting better.

Two weeks ago, I had one of those days when the fishing is so good I almost felt guilty. Lots of trout were feeding subsurface on the Columbia with the epic caddis hatches.

April is one of my favourite months for fly fishing on the Columbia River. Insects begin to emerge as the weather warms and you see bigger rainbows moving into runs and riffles.

The Columbia River between the Keenleyside Dam and the U.S. border is as low as it gets. Angling can be challenging when known runs and riffles disappear or are ankle deep.

February was mixed weather, but I did ventured out on several days to my favorite spot just south of Trail. I packed rods with sink and floating line, and reeled in a few nice trout.

As December temps and snowfall gives way to mild January weather let WeSportFish introduce you to other local fly fishers and some great online resources.
