Methow River - February 9th, 2010
supplied by: Griff's Fly Fishing Adventures RECORDED:40 °FISHING: Good
Catching is good. Guests have put multiple fish on the beach yesterday and today. Small bugs have been the ticket. And when I say small, I'm talking about sz. 14 small. Slow & deep. Having confidence in your choice of bugs is important too.
See ya on the river, Rod
Bogachiel River - February 8th, 2010
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:55 °FISHING: Excellent
Bogachiel River is in good shape running at 26.92 ft and with 4 ft of Vis.
FYI WATCH OUT FOR THE TREE ACROSS THE RIVER BELOW HIWAY 101
The best techniques with the given water flows and color will be to pull plugs or float fish. For plug pulling stick with Wordens Flatfish or Luhr Jensens kwiikfish in the smaller sizes. For colors i like to use Silver, Silver/red dots, Flame Red, Flame red/ red dots, green weenie, blue streak, michael jackson, flounder and green hornet.
For float fishing we have been using jigs in Pink, Pink/white, pink/peach and the nightmare. We also have had good success on floats and bait. Eggs with a weighted cheater on top with a little yarn has been great. We have been also fishing quite a bit of squid under a float dyed pink. Pink worms on a jig head have been great.
These techniques will be the best until the water comes back up.
Very few hatchery fish left, it has turned into a all wild fish show.

Very few hatchery fish around, it has turned into a all wild fish show. This will only get better as we reach the middle of February.

supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:55 °FISHING: Excellent
The Sol Duc is in great shape running at 4 boards and 12 ft of vis. The river is dropping nicely.
There are snider broodstock fish showing up each day. So far this season it has been more native fish then anything. Fish are spread out from Riverside all the way to the mouth.
At this water flow the best techniques will be plug pulling, floatfishing or sidedrifting. For plug pulling stick with wordens flatfish or Luhr Jensens Kwikfish in the small ot meduim sizes. The colors that have been working for me have been silver, Silver/red dots, flame, flame/red dots, green hornet, green weenie, blue streak and flounder.
Plug pulling and sidedrifting have been best in the lower half of the river and plug pulling and float fishing has been better in the top half of the river.
When it comes to side drifting stick with two # 3 Vision Hooks and a size 12 cheater in flame, glo orange, glo green, rainbow and green rainbow. Egs have been good in a orange coastal cure and prawns dyed in soft pink have also been great.
Float fishing in the upper river has been best with a Mad river worm in Pink, Nail Polish pink or pink haze with a white or chartruese jig head. Have also been playing with a new jig that we are working on with a small light on it and they will be out on the market soon. Look for them as they are very good.
The fishing for hatchery fish will continue for another week os so for the Bogachiel fish and will only get better for the next month on the Snider Fish. The native run will only get way better with each day.

In the lower river fish 2 @ 2 vision hooks a #10 cheater in brighter colors like flame, chart/flame dots, chart/green dots and rainbow. I like to use a little bigger baits, so cut your eggs a little bigger and add a mad river egg to the bottom for a little more scent.

Rocky Ford Creek - January 23rd, 2010
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop RECORDED:39 °FISHING: Excellent
Many reports coming in from customers who are taking advatange of these mild weather conditions and using scuds, mini buggers, myisis shrimp, small beadhead pheasant tails and beadhead GR hare's ear patterns the fishing is very, very good. Hook ups are averaging about 8 to 10 rainbows per fly fisher daily. Some of the resident rainbows are quite hefty and will surprise the novice to the stream.
Spokane River - January 23rd, 2010
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop RECORDED:39 °FISHING: Fair
River is a little off color and a little high but dropping as the sunny and clear weather patterns remain. A few venturous fly fishers have been swinging streamers and nymphs around the Barker and Maribou sections of the river along with the Nadatorium hole and below Bowl and Pitcher in the lower sections. Caddis patterns, wooly buggers and small leech patterns seem to be the focus right now. If you have a sink tip fly line use it. It reaches the depths needed to swing those patterns effectively.
Snake River - January 23rd, 2010
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop RECORDED:36 °FISHING: Great
We have been frequenting the Snake River below the town of Asotin when the other rivers have been either off color or the water volumes not right. Our good friend Josh has been down there swinging his two handed rod with excellent results of 6 to 7 steelhead to hand per day. He recommends using marabou steelhead patterns in the traditional dark day dark fly, bright day bright fly pattern rule of thumb. Here at Swedes we have just the perfect combinations of two handed rods casting systems consisting both Skagit and Scandi compact head systems with shooting lines. And yes, we teach you to cast these systems for free with every rod reel line purchase.
Skykomish River - January 14th, 2010
supplied by: All About the Fly RECORDED:50 °FISHING: Good
Some late hatchery and early native Steelhead are showing up with every rise in water. Fishing a type 4 to 8 sink tip on the swing with large profile flies has been productive. Fish are spread out the system so cover as much water as you can, watch the gauge and fish it when its on the drop. Bull Trout are around and agressive!! so get out and fish.
