Lenore Lake - October 12th, 2008
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop
RECORDED: 
52 °
FISHING: Good
Some reports are coming in from a few clients who are using a small black mini bugger or size 14 caddis emerger on either a sink tip or full sink line around the islands. The fish are not in great numbers, but they make up for the numbers in size. Best methods seem to be drifting with the wind and short stripping working the fly patterns in an irractic retireve. The wind this time of year can be a contributing factor to a successful trip. I have been out there in 3 foot seas and casting a fly line is a challenge, to say the least.

supplied by: Angler's Guide Service
RECORDED:
54 °
FISHING: Excellent
Sol Duc is in great shape with unlimted vis and 0 boards.
Lots of Kings and Silvers spread out from mouth all the way to the hatchery.
kings have been caught the best on Jigs or Floats and eggs. River is low and clear so fish the deeper holes for kings. With your eggs try some smelly jelly in Special mix or Salmon feast and tip your eggs with a piece of Sardine or Mackeral.
Silvers have been caught the best on Jigs or small spinners. In the jigs stick with purple and the spinners stick with no bigger then a size 3 in Copper or Golds.

Hoh River - October 12th, 2008
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service
RECORDED: 
54 °
FISHING: Excellent
Hoh is in great shape with 4 ft of vis and med flow.
Kings spread out from mouth all the way to morgans landing. Best techniques have been pulling plugs or fresh herring. Plugs have been best in k-15 or k-13 in silver/char bill, silver/red bill, grinch, fickle pickle, pearl pink or mean green. Remember that you can not fish any bait above oxbow camp ground or keep any Wild Kings above Oxbow Campground until October 16th.
When fishing Herring use a size 20 diver and a 4 ft leader witha small dink float in the middle of the leader for floatant.
As water clears and gets lower a diver and aggs or a float and eggs will be very good.
Silvers are in in good numbers and spread out from mouth to Morgans landing. Spinners will be the best technique. Use silver with color or copper.
This will only get better as weeks unfold. Check your regs before you fish this one as regs change.

Skykomish River - October 7th, 2008
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service
RECORDED: 
54 °
FISHING: Poor
River is ? climbing Guages are not reporting real time. Snohomish flows have doubled and should drop quick. Keep your eyes on the guages and go as soon as it starts to level off. Pulling plugs worked well on monday and should produce again as soon as it comes back into shape.

Spokane River - October 6th, 2008
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop
RECORDED: 
55 °
FISHING: Good
Most of the lower river is producing quite well, especially this time of year. There are sections where the aquifer interchanges with the river producing some great springs that are oxygenated and attract the rainbows to hold and feed in these areas. There is a small white midge that emerges in the evening time that we have been using with some success. During the day either streamers or bead head lightning bugs or bloody Marys will bring some action to an otherwise dead rod. One suggestion would be to work a section of river until exhausted. This may entail changing patterns numerous times or using different techniques at various depths. Move down slowly and fish all water no matter how it looks to you.

Cowlitz River - October 6th, 2008
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service
RECORDED:
54 °
FISHING: Excellent
The Cowlitz river is in great shape with 5ft vis and med flow. Fishing is excellent!
It's fall and the Kings and Silvers have shown up in good numbers. Catch rates are good to great depending on your luck! If you find some moving fish and stay with them you should experience more hook ups.
Best techniques have been Pulling plugs like Small wiggle warts in Met red, flame red, silver, black bart, rodman and michael jackson. If you are into casting floating along cast Silver flash-n-glos or any color of Vibrax spinners in size 4's. If you like fishing bait side drifting then fishing eggs with a small corkie or small prawns have also been very good.
Fresh Silvers are showing up every day.
Just let you know Kings have opened on the Cowlitz river. You can keep a King and 5 hatchery coho.

Columbia Basin Lakes - October 6th, 2008
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop
RECORDED:
61 °
FISHING: Good
Sprague Lake just had thousands of rainbows planted in the lake this spring which was just rehabilitated. According to G. Potter the lake received a generous amount of “catchable” rainbows that have grown throughout the season. Have not seen many people fishing the lake, but there are some reports coming in of 16 inch plus rainbows just waiting for the fly flinger out from the resort area. The fish have an incredible growth rate in the lake, as many of you can attest to the hatches which occur throughout the season. On average these fish should grow from 6 to 7 inches per year. You always know when you are driving by the lake by the massive amounts of bugs that suddenly appear on your windshield. I think it would worth the effort and to drown a few bugs and see how well the lake is doing. Try the Electric Bugger or small White Streamers.
