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.
Experience World Class Sport Fishing On The Columbia River!
Our amazing Columbia River fishery begins at Keenleyside dam on the Lower Arrow Lake. It freely flows 56 km past Castlegar, Genelle and downtown Trail before crossing into America near Waneta. Trout, walleye and other species thrive in the Columbia’s cool, clean, well oxygenated water. With prolific hatches and plenty of riffles, long runs, and deep pools the Columbia provides the perfect environment to keep trout feeling safe and well fed. This is our river, and this is where WeSportFish.

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.
