For
the past 12 years we have been investigating (that means fishing) the
northeast corner of Washington! We are excited to offer what we believe
to be the Best Kept Secret in the Northwest and what we consider
World Class Trout Fishing. The Upper Jurassic sports incredible
insect hatches seasonally. Water temps on the river range from
40-65 degrees year round, providing great habitat throughout
the season for insect propagation. While the hatches are not guaranteed
day in and day out, the trout are at times incredibly tuned into the
surface which makes for great fun.
Great food, the good chance at a 25-28 inch bow
on the fly, few anglers and beautiful vistas are what we offer with
this program. Our itinerary is based on a 2 person minimum and
double occupancy. Two anglers to one guide ratio is our standard
and continues to be.
The predominant target fish is the Rainbow trout,
and they are big! The average Rainbow trout is approximately 19-21
inches/3-5 pounds. There are Cutthroat in the system and we catch
them occasionally.
The Goal; BIG
Fish on dry flies/streamers/nymphs, great food, new river, awesome scenery
and few people.
