Klickitat River - November 13th, 2009
supplied by: Griff's Fly Fishing Adventures RECORDED:40 °FISHING: Good
Catching on the Klickitat was good. We floated the canyon section. The highlight of the trip was my Grandson Coby landing his first steelhead. Not as much pressure as the Methow. It was a welcome change.
We woke up to a dusting of snow in Carlton this morning. It increased throughout the day. As I write this at 6:30 pm, the snow has stopped and the temperature is in the high 20's. It is expected to drop into the high teens tonight. I fished late afternoon with no success. Dropping water temps will cause the fish to get more lethargic. Slow and deep is the key whether you are nymphing or swinging.
See ya on the river, Rod
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.
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

South Puget Sound - October 30th, 2008
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC RECORDED:54 °FISHING: Excellent Puget Sound Fly Company is proud to offer current fishing reports for the exciting saltwater opportunities available in the South Puget Sound. These reports come from staff fishing trips, customers and friends. Please call us at (253) 839-4119 if you are new to the area or estuary fishing in general.
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
Chehalis River - October 1st, 2008
supplied by: Columbia River Fishing RECORDED:60 °FISHING: Great
With the smell of Fall in the air and October just around the corner, its time to start pursuing Coho Salmon and several rivers.. J and L Guided Sportfishing is gearing up for Fall fishing on the Chehalis, Cowlitz, and Lewis rivers. With both summer steelhead and the Buoy 10 season over we are looking forward to being on the waters of Southwest Washington. Fall fishing for Coho is one of the best times for an angler in Washington.The Chehalis river opens on October 1str and is the best bet for Fall Coho. Using light spinning rods and jigs we hook 15 to 25 fish a day in the calm tidal water of the river just outside on Elma, WA. October 1st thru the 15th an angler may catch 2 adult coho with only one being wild. Then on the 16th, all wild coho must be realeased. All Chinook salmon incidently caught will be released. Chehalis river coho are Big! Averaging 12 pounds with some as large as 18. Looking for lots of fight on light tackle Then this is your fishery. Call me today. Stop wishin and lets go fishin!!!The Lewis river is aso a great bet specially if the weather "blows" out the Chehalis. Coho in this river are availble thru mid November and run 8 to 12 pounds. Hover fishing bait and small spinners is the way to go. The Cowlitz also is a good bet just above the mouth of the Toutle better known as "the lake". Trolling wiggle warts is the ticket on this section of the river. Fish can also be caught up at Blue Creek and Barrier Dam. Summer run steelhead are also available in the Cowlitz. We are currently taking reservations for Chehalis, Lewis and Cowlitz rivers. Jet boat trips on the Columbia and Lewis rivers for 4 anglers are at a special price of just $580.00.Additional information can be obtained online at http://www.columbia-river-fishing-guide.com/ or by phone at 206-920-2428Best Regards, Capt.

The Kalama River is a beautiful little river located about 2 hours south of Puget Sound Fly Company. Steelhead are in the river almost year ‘round and strong runs of Salmon enter the river from April-November. One of the most exciting aspects of fishing the Kalama is created by the low and clear water conditions. Sight fishing is the norm. If you have any questions about the Kalama, give us a call at (253) 839-4119.
The water is low this time of year. The opportunity to raise Steelhead to the dry is quite good. For those of you more interested in catching fish any way you can, Nymphing is extremely effective. Currently there are good numbers of fish from Red Barn all the way down to I-5.
Flies: Steelhead Muddlers, Copper Swan’s, Septober Caddis and Eggs.
If you have any questions or just need directions, please give us a call or stop by the shop. 253-839-4119
Lone Lake - July 2nd, 2008
supplied by: The Avid Angler RECORDED:75 °FISHING: Good
Fished Lone Lake on Wednesday, July 2nd. Weather was clear and wind calm for most of the day until the thunderstorms moved in.
Considering the success we have had on the rubber legs stone fly nymph on two other lakes, decided to try it on Lone Lake. Again, success! Trolled the fly slowly in the deeper parts of the lake using an intermediate line and landed 24 fish to 19 inches. My two fishing partners had similar success.
Tried the shorelines out to about 50 ft from shore but no fish found until very late in the day when they started moving into shallower water. Unfortunately, thunderstorms were moving in and we decided that it was not a good idea to be on the lake with feet in the water and a graphite fly rod (lightening rod??) in our hand so we headed in and called it a day.
Several other folks were on the lake that day but no one seemed to be having a "fishy" day. The rubber legs nymph seemed to be the ticket although we did take a few fish on olive leech patterns. But for the three of us, the nymph was king. As best as we can figure, it must resemble a dragonfly nymph.
