The “big fish” season is now just getting started. I use a spey rod in the 14-16ft range with a 73-83ft head and heavy 12lb tippet for the vicious grabs.
The Walleye were really aggressive towards any green and black combo. We caught enough to feast upon. Lost a few, kept a few and the bite was aggressive.
We caught and released six trout from 16-20 inches and lost another six or so. I don’t think my client was accustom to hard fighting trout.
We averaged 10-15 bass/day with lengths between 6-12”. Bass are greedy, so almost any colour works.
August and September are usually good months for anglers targeting all species of fish on the Columbia River and Arrow Lake.
Dave Pasin and his fishing partner landed 13 rainbows on dry flies. The biggest fish caught was a 27-inch monster rainbow.
Most fish were in the 18-20 inch range, and the biggest was 23 inches. All looked very healthy with really nice colours and big backs.
