Experience World Class Sport Fishing On The Columbia River!
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.
I nymphed for about 3 hours. In that time I caught and released nine rainbows ranging in size from about 16 to 20 inches.
In the 2.5 hours I was out I landed 8 rainbow ranging in size from 16 to 24 inches. I was hooking a fish every second or third cast.
With spring now on us the fishing is heating up. We drifted down the Columbia and landed a gorgeous 23 inch rainbow around noon.
