Lower Arrow Lake is a reservoir on the Columbia River. Recently, I left the fly rod at home and joined three friends on an excursion to Lower Arrow Lake to troll for big bull trout and rainbows
We landed two nice rainbow trout chucking lures, and lost one at the boat. Fishing is good, and the trout are feeding on tiny worms and chironomids.
The “big fish” season is now just getting started. I use a spey rod in the 14-16ft range with a 73-83ft head and heavy 12lb tippet for the vicious grabs.
