HOME - WASHINGTON FLY FISHING GUIDES FOR STEELHEAD & TROUT - THE YAKIMA/NACHES, KLICKITAT, UPPER COLUMBIA/KETTLE & OLYMPIC PENINSULA

UPPER COLUMBIA / KETTLE REPORT - 9/10/14

Columbia Highlands Redband - 9/9/14










The Fall continues to progress in the Northeastern corner of Washington -  AKA  'The Columbia Highlands'   or also could be known as the foothills of the Kootenay Mountains.

Typically this time of year means low and clear waters and it certainly isn't any different this year with the rivers actually being lower and clearer than usual.  Pray for overall cooler weather as low and clear water warms and cools with the prevalent weather.

Overall tactics in the low and clear water calls for LONG leaders and a variety of terrestrials.  A well presented streamer here and there has also proven to be worthy.
