Snoqualmie River - July 23rd, 2010
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC RECORDED:57 °FISHING: Fair
The river is low and clear at this point. Prepare to get there super early and be patient.
Tokul Creek has shut down their summer run operation at this point. The river has been fishing fair. One take at the end of the first run at David Powewll Road. Floating line, Purple Plum behind Bomber.
1400 cfs.
Skykomish River - July 20th, 2010
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC RECORDED:58 °FISHING: Poor
Floated High Bridge to Sultan this morning. The river is really LOW and ultra CLEAR right now. We fished 7am to noon on a bit of a recon mission. We didn't see any fish roll or rise. Nothing spooked out from holes or runs as the boat pushed over.
Wait for the next bit of precip and jump back on the horse. We need some rain to push some fresh fish in to the system. The river is pretty boney right now so be prepared for some rubbin and bumpin.
Columbia Basin Lakes - July 5th, 2010
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop RECORDED:59 °FISHING: Good
Sprague Lake is a hit or miss scene right now, as the wind can literally blow you off the lake and makes casting a challenge in creative wind knot construction. The rainbows are huge. We have had reports of some tipping the 10 pound scale and are very fiesty to catch. The electric bugger by far is the top producing fly on the lake, but the fish are dispersed. Because of the lack of structure in the lake and it having a lot of weeds, the fish can be a little difficult to find. Again, use your full sinking line for best results. Fishing has slowed a bit. but if you locate the right drop offs and work the deeper water, you should fair well.
Spokane River - July 5th, 2010
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop RECORDED:59 °FISHING: Fair
The Spokane is starting to come down a bit in water volumes, but for the past few weeks we have been doing well using weighted streamer patterns, a shop specialty pattern combining the characteristics of a carey special with a wooly bugger. The brown, olive and black patterns seem to work equally as well. These patterns have great visiability and movement and are proving to be the number one fly right now in the river. Fished on the swing with a short strip retrieve, the areas below TJ and plants ferry are producing some beautiful 14 to 18 inch redbands. Try using a sink tip line or a 10 foot sinking poly leader off the end of your floating line.
Kettle River - July 5th, 2010
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop RECORDED:59 °FISHING: Good
Had a fairly good report come in from our neighbors up north in BC, as they were fishing the Kettle in the US with golden stonefly nymphs and while rainbows were occasionally taking the stone pattern, they were pleasantly surprised with some sizeable brown trout that wanted some of the action. They suggested using either a full sinking or sink tip fly line and fish the deeper pools in the river letting the nymph just tumble through the pools. Extending your tapered leader to 12 feet with tippet helps, but the nymphs need to be weighted if using this technique. There is no doubt when the fish grabs the fly!
Teanaway River - July 4th, 2010
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC RECORDED:73 °FISHING: Good
Looking for respite from the flows and crowds on the main stem of the Yakima, we fished an upper fork of the Teanaway on the 4th for an or so on the way to a family bbq at BurbCadia.
11 fish to hand...all under 11". Small water, attractor dries and some careful casting in to pools and deep riffles pay off with greedy little rainbows. If you're not looking for big 'uns and have fun casting to eager fish, this river at this time of year offers a distraction and change of pace - and little competition.

Okanagan Lakes - June 15th, 2010
supplied by: Griff's Fly Fishing Adventures RECORDED:80 °FISHING: Fair
My friend, Susan Morrison, and I fished Grimes lake on Sunday and managed to land a few nice Lahontan's. Sue, as always, managed to land the best fish. I say she's lucky. She says she's good. Of course she had her weigh net with her, and the fish weighed in at 5-1/2 lbs. She caught it on a dragon fly nymph using a chironomiding technique with a type 3 full sinking line. We had a mixture of hot sun and gusty winds with the wind increasing in the evening. By the time we headed back to the launch the wind was blowing straight into us, and we thought we were going to have to spend the night. It was a tough row but we made it.
This early summer weather is kind of crazy right now. The Methow is back up again. It was just over 9600 cfs. yesterday. This Saturday is the Jimmy Green Memorial Fly Fishing Fair and Casting Expo in Monroe. I am planning on being there, God willing.
See ya on the river, Rod
