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.
I hooked into an 18-inch rainbow. It ran like a freight train and performed aerial acrobatics’ -one of the best fighters I’ve had all year.
We landed one on a nymph and indicator, 12 on dry flies. We missed probably a half dozen more. Once they started hitting, it was non-stop.
In our 4 hour outing we landed and released 4 rainbows from 16-22 inches. The trout fought really hard and peeled line right into our backing.
With two rods in the water we landed and released 23 rainbow and probably lost 12-18 fish. Most of the trout were in the 18-19 inch range.
This report covers four days of fishing with clients from April 24 to April 27. Most trout landed were between 16 and 20 inches.
