Winter Fly Fishing
Winter officially arrived on Dec. 21. Donning the neoprenes and wading into runs and riffles is not unheard of, in fact it is sheer elation to be casting flies while the snow falls around you.

Rain or shine, there hasn’t been a week this year that people haven’t been able to hit some large trout. I unexpectedly landed two massive rainbow in a just a few casts.
I’ve fished the Columbia River hundreds of times in the past three years and still find myself adjusting to the seasonal changes, weekly rhythms, temperature, and water levels.
There was no shortage of good days on the Columbia. September was exceptional rainbow fishing, and October caddis dry fly patterns were productive. Walley fishing was also incredible.
