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!
Rainbow trout are the most popular freshwater sportfish in North America and the Columbia River is an outstanding tailrace fishery that routinely produces rainbow between 16-26 inches and up to 10 pounds. The Columbia River and surrounding water bodies offers anglers much more. Catch walleye up to 14-pounds, battle massive Gerrard rainbows and bull trout on Arrow Lakes, or troll for freshwater sockeye salmon (aka Kokanee). This is what WeSportFish for.

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.
