Yakima River - September 18th, 2010
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC RECORDED:64 °FISHING: Excellent
The Yak is hotter than Katy Perry in the Calfornia Gurls video right now.
Carleton to Rhinehart's. Noon-7pm
Strike while the iron is hot. Its no secret that these few weeks turn the sometimes fickle Yakima in to a productive and more predictable blue ribbon fishery. Be prepared for some pressure and feel free to select a shorter section or float to fish and take your time. The fish are willing to feed more consistently right now. We ran double dry rigs with a larger Stone immitation and a smaller dry. We were about 50/50 between the two.
Snoqualmie River - September 5th, 2010
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC RECORDED:58 °FISHING: Great
Snoq. Area Small Marsh (named, but unnamed) in Hancock Private Forest.
Plenty of small native Cutthroat and Brookies if you're willing to hike in and explore this area just an hour outside of Seattle. Small Dries: Parachute Adams, Black Gnat, Small Humpies/Royal Wolff.
Maps available from USFS or Hancock (if you buy a permit). This area is an excellent local resource, protect and respect it. Please know that permits are required to drive in to the Hancock Forest. You cannot pass by Gate 10 on to the Spur Road without a permit and a key to the locked gates.
Word of warning: PLENTY of leeches in this marsh system. We got leeched several times as we wet waded. Waders recommended and have a friend do a thorough leech check when done.
Lewis River - August 19th, 2010
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:76 °FISHING: Excellent
Lewis is in great shape running at 14000 cfs with 10 ft of vis.
Summer steelehad stacked up from the mouth all the way to the dam.
Best techniques in upper river has been sidedrifting small baits on a #2 vision hook with a small piece of yarn and a small cluster of red eggs or shrimp in the faster water.
The other way that has been good is to sit in top of hole and back a Hot-n-tot with a pink or purple coon stirpe shrimp down into the hole. Fishing floats has been also great sitting a top of hole and droping back into hole with small baits or darker colored jigs.
Down at the mouth the best been sittting on anchor with a coon stripe shrimp and a small spin-n-glo back behind the boat in 10-15ft of water. You can also fish a x-4 flame red flatfish on a 5ft leader with a 1 ft dropper.
Summer steelhead will remain strong for several more weeks. Fall kings will start to show at the mouth any day.
Neah Bay - July 26th, 2010
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC RECORDED:72 °FISHING: Good
3 boats, 8 men and no salmon.
We fished Neah Bay Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Despite the clear, sunny weather across the entire state Washington, Neah Bay was a bit chilly and completely fogged in until Sunday AM. This, coupled with HUGE tide exchanges, made for some lumpy water and tough conditions. Rock fish and Ling Cod fishing was good, not great and there were no salmon to be found on the inside of Tatoosh. Those boats we saw that were able to make it out to Swift Shore Bank seemed to be able to limit out, but the fish were deep.
Cedar River - July 25th, 2010
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC RECORDED:74 °FISHING: Great
4 fish landed today between 8” and 21”. Down low the river is still fishing well very early in the morning. We nymphed all morning and raised/hooked lots of fish with 4 to hand. Make sure to have a strong and long 6 weight to get your double nymph rigs out there without tangling as well as fighting the big fish. Try to be on the river by 5:00AM and expect to be all by yourself. Fish the darker water with a large fly like a speculator on top with a small, colored dropper underneath. **IMPORTANT** Bring only what you need to fish and leave nothing in your car unless you’re parking at the library. Two of our cars were broken into; not much was taken but meth heads will do anything for something that looks even of minimal value and pawnable. You might even want to have something in your car that says “nothing of value in here”. Beside the car issues, the fishing was great.
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.
#14 black ant, #12 Orange Stimulator
Clearwater River - March 20th, 2010
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:52 °FISHING: Good
The clearwater is running at low flow with 12ft of vis. River is dropping slowly.
The fish are spread out from the mouth all the way to Copper Mine Bottom.
The best techniques have been float fishing or plug pulling. For float fishing Aero Jig and Beau Mac jigs in Pink, Pink/white, Cerise and Night mare jigs have been the best.
For plug pulling i have had the best luck with a Wordens flat fish in a x-4 in silver, silver/pink dots, TJ special, Falme, Flame red dots, green Hornet, flounder silver/black/red back.
Fishing will just get better each day as more and more wild fish show up.
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.
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
