Sol Duc River - March 12th, 2010
supplied by: Angler's Guide Service RECORDED:49 °FISHING: Excellent
The Sol Duc is in great shape running at 6 boards and 5 to6 ft of vis. The river is dropping slowly.
At this water flow the best techniques will be plug pulling or float fishing. For plug pulling stick with wordens flatfish or Luhr Jensens Kwikfish in the small ot meduim sizes. The colors that have been working for me have been silver, Silver/red dots, flame, flame/red dots, green hornet, green weenie, blue streak and flounder.
Float fishing in the upper river has been best with a Mad river worm in Pink, Nail Polish pink or pink haze with a white or chartruese jig head. Aero jig and Beau MAc jigs in pink, pink/white or night mare jigs are the best. Have also been playing with a new jig that we are working on with a small light on it and they will be out on the market soon. Look for them as they are very good.
The fishing for snider hatchery fish will continue for a couple of more weeks. The native run will only get way better with each day.

For sidedrifting in the upper river this prime time to fish 6" long Mad river worms in pink, Methiolate and flour orange.
In the lower river fish 2 @ 2 vision hooks a #10 cheater in brighter colors like flame, chart/flame dots, chart/green dots and rainbow. I like to use a little bigger baits, so cut your eggs a little bigger and add a mad river egg to the bottom for a little more scent.
This will only get better as the water drops and clears.

Methow River - February 24th, 2010
supplied by: Griff's Fly Fishing Adventures RECORDED:47 °FISHING: Poor
I guess these Methow River steelhead don't like the sunshine, because the catching has slowed since the clouds have left and the days are sunny. Also, the night time temps have been dipping below freezing with the clear nights. This morning when I got up it was 25 degrees. Either way, the multiple fish days are just not as plentiful as they were with the cloudy overcast days we had a week ago. The small bugs are still working best for me, with most of the fish taking the sz. 14 trout type nymphs. The weatherman says we are suppose to see some rain and/or snow over the next few days with highs in the mid to high 40's. Could make catching better. Whatever, it is still steelheading.
See ya on the river, Rod
Columbia Basin Lakes - February 18th, 2010
supplied by: Swede's Fly Shop RECORDED:30 °FISHING: Good
Rock Lake has turned a bit reducing visibility, but the rainbows and browns are still taking hot face bunny leeches in olive and black with gusto. Recommend using a RIO Deep 7 sinking fly line down deep drifting with a short irratic retrieve. Fish the patterns deep with alomst all the fly line played out.
Puget Sound - February 18th, 2010
supplied by: All About the Fly FISHING: Good
The local lakes have been stocked and have been fishing good. Fishing the Olive Willie on a floater or an int with a slow strip will work!! The Yakima river has been fishing great with some Skwalla action, dries and nymphs!!
Skykomish River - January 14th, 2010
supplied by: All About the Fly RECORDED:50 °FISHING: Good
Some late hatchery and early native Steelhead are showing up with every rise in water. Fishing a type 4 to 8 sink tip on the swing with large profile flies has been productive. Fish are spread out the system so cover as much water as you can, watch the gauge and fish it when its on the drop. Bull Trout are around and agressive!! so get out and fish.
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
