Cowlitz River - October 19th, 2009
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:55 °FISHING: Excellent
The Cowlitz is in great shape running at 4430 cfs and 3 to 6 ft of vis.
Salmon fishing for both Kings and Silvers has been excellent.
Best King fishing techniques have been to hover fish or run divers and bait. both techniques use red eggs with a combination of shrimp, sardines or tuna with your eggs. Concentrate on the deeper holes for kings.
Silvers have been best targeted with either sidedrifted bait or plugs. The best plug fishing has been in the flats above the toutle or the car lot. Use wiggle warts in Pink, Purple or fire tiger.
Sidedrifting with small egg clusters with two #3 vision hooks and a small cheater in Chart/red dots, Chart/green dots, flame red or gloe red. Adding a small piece of sand shrimp to your eggs every once in while seems to spur on a bite.
Fishing is good from the mouth all the way to the barrier dam.
This salmon fishing will stay good for several more weeks.
Quillayute River - October 15th, 2009
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:48 °FISHING: Excellent
Quillayute is in great shape running low with unlimited vis. With last nights rain the river rose a little and the fish are pouring in.
This is HOT!!!! HOT!!! HOT!!!!!
Silvers and Kings are stacked up in every hole on the river. Silver have been best caught throwing small #3 vibrax spinners in Chrome/orange and Chrome blue in the early mornings or at dusk. During the day the best ones have been chrome/blue, gold/orange, gold/chart, gold, black/green and my favorite Copper.
Kings have been biting the same spinners as the silvers but they also have been coming to a float and eggs very good. Sick with a quarter size glob of pautzke red or pink eggs with a small tip of Sardine on a #3/0 hook under a good size float sticking tot he deeper holesa and channels, makeing sure to change beat freqently.
With the rain and rise in the river the Bogy and Sol Duc have started to rise which will move the fish . Fish will continue to move through the Quillayute on all the tides.
Wenatchee River - October 14th, 2009
supplied by: Griff's Fly Fishing Adventures RECORDED:43 °FISHING: Fair
I was back on the Methow yesterday and did a half-day trip with a guest. We were able to land a wild fish, but the catching has definitely slowed as the air and water temps have dropped. We have some snow and rain today in the Methow Valley and rain in Wenatchee. The weatherman is forecasting more rain and warmer temperatures going into the end of the week. If that happens, the fishing should improve. I swung a tip and articulated leech this afternoon on the Wenatchee and had a fish almost rip the rod out of my hand. It surprised me bad enough that I failed to drop the loop. Oh well, it is all about the grab.

The recent cloudy and cooler weather combined with the annual flow drop has combined to create some fantastic fishing.
For those of you who like to wade the river or float and wade, the river is prime again. Flows look like they are stabilizing at around 1,300-1,400 in the Canyon.
Summer Stones, followed by BWO's and Mahoganys and October Caddis.

Columbia River - August 19th, 2009
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:93 °FISHING: Excellent
Columbia river is in great shape runing at med flow and 8 ft of vis.
The summer run steelhead are in full force from Bonneville Dam down to the mouth. Over 150,000 and 30,000 in the last 5 days is making for some awesome fishing.
The Best fishing has been from the mouth of the cowlitz up to Bonneville.
With this heat wave and the Columbia warming up move out to a litle deeper water. I have been anchoring in 14 to 20 ft and finding plenty of biting fish.
The best techniques have been anchor fishing with X-4 flatfish in Flame or small Bob Toman spinners in either the colorado or CV blades. The best colors have been Brass/Red, Brass, Flame, Red/White and Half Chrome/ Half Brass.
The numbers going over the dam are great and should remain good for the next couple of weeks.
Skagit River - July 12th, 2009
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:61 °FISHING: Fair
Skagit Summer king off to a slow start. Catching picked up today with with two chinook landed and one missed. Wow these are nice fish certainly worth the wait. What hard fighting fish these are! Will post info next thursday with a new report thanks.
Chopaka Lake - June 1st, 2009
supplied by: Griff's Fly Fishing Adventures RECORDED:90 °FISHING: Fair
Chopaka Lake is an awesome place to be, and the fishing is just icing on the cake. All of the campsites were full this weekend and then some. For everyone except the Chironomid anglers, I guess I'd have to say the fishing was fair. And for the four guys who anchored up in front of our camp and fished Chironomids; well, it was one fish after another. The fish are healthy and fought well; going in the air at least twice and sometimes more. One of the NWF ladies group landed a 22" bow on a Damsel Nymph. It was fun.
The local rivers are still high and dirty with the warm weather, and may be that way for awhile. I plan on heading up on the Methow later in the week and explore more of the stillwaters in the Okanogan. There are plenty of them and lots of fish diversity with Rainbows, Browns, Tiger, Brook, and Cutthroat Trout as well as Bass.
See ya on the river or maybe even a stillwater, Rod
Lewis River - May 20th, 2009
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:56 °FISHING: Good
Lewis in great shape running at 8700 cfs and 5 ft of vis.
With the Lewis river being closed for springers all the concentration has been focused on Summer Steelhead.
The best techniques has been fishing Divers and Coon Stripe Prawns. I have been fishing coon stripes deyed pink on a 5ft leader and 2/0 hook. With the water a little high try staying in the slower water in about 4 to 10 ft deep in tailouts and head end of riffles.
When the water drops a little sidedrifting with eggs or prawns has also been veru good. I have been fishing with 2 #4 vision hooks and a cheater with my bait.
This getting better each day and will continue to and will only get better witha little drop in the water.

FISHING:
These last few weeks have produced some of the finest Cutthroat fishing in years. Piggyback the beginning of Chum season on top of that and you have some truly excellent fishing. As if that wasn’t good enough most of these spots are within and hours drive of your house.
Cutthroat technique has been fairly straightforward: Moving water, clear lines and erratic retrieves. I can’t tell you exactly where to go but think Key Peninsula and Hood Canal. If you aren’t catching Cutthroat where you are, move!
Chum are showing up at Chico, John's, Hoodsport and many other locations. Hoodsport holds fish consistently for weeks at a time. These other runs are much smaller and fish come in waves. The theme here, like with the Cutthroat: Stay mobile. Chum tend to like a rising tide, lower light and rain. I’ve had some epic fishing right at dark with a flood tide and pouring rain. Don’t let bad weather stop you from fishing!
LINES: Standard intermediate (Clear) lines are good, but the next generation of integrated shooting lines like the Rio ‘Outbound’ are ideal. We played a small part in the design of this line and our input was totally focused on the local beach fishing. TIDES
