WeSportFish caught up with one of the Columbia River’s premier guides, Graham Cloutier, and asked for some insight into fishing the Columbia in the fall.
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.

In September local anglers related some amazing fishing stories -and who doesn’t love a good fish story? I look forward to October hatches, and some good top water action.
Celebrate BC Rivers Day by joining Neighbours United at Gyro Park on September 24 to celebrate the mighty Columbia River and help clean up the river shores.
Salmon may indeed be on their way back. This past month (Aug. 2023), local anglers reported catching juvenile chinook salmon and sockeye on the Columbia near Trail and Castlegar.
