Fishing Report February
I live near the Columbia River, and it has proven a wonderful place to get away and escape the bitter realities of the modern world by working the runs, seams and riffles.

I live near the Columbia River, and it has proven a wonderful place to get away and escape the bitter realities of the modern world by working the runs, seams and riffles.
August is my favourite time to fish for walleye on the fly. I caught my largest walleye ever, a nice 32-incher just North of Trail. I thought it was a small sturgeon at first…
It’s early March and the mighty Columbia has finally dropped into fishing shape… yay! We asked master of the long rod Bruce Kruk: How’s fishing?
Let’s face it, there are few better ways to spend a day than on the water trolling for big bull trout and rainbow trout. I couldn’t have had a better day.
I stopped at a favourite spot below Trail and spent a couple hours nymphing a stonefly pattern over a rocky run. I had a nice rainbow on almost immediately
When I got to a good fishing hole I would first nymph it, then pull a streamer through it. I landed 2 trout, lost a half dozen, and landed two whitefish.
We landed two nice rainbow trout chucking lures, and lost one at the boat. Fishing is good, and the trout are feeding on tiny worms and chironomids.
Winter in the West Kootenay means one thing -big fish. Anglers are landing up to 10 fish per day with rainbows up to 11 pounds and bulls up to 14.
