The Columbia is definitely in 3rd gear!  PMD’s and light Caddis are the hatches.  Soft Hackles and Parachute renditions to rising fish and searching with nymphs are the key.

#Princes, PMD Trigger nymphs,  YB’s etc

Dropping fast and in great shape…..4-5 feet of vis

Golden Stones and PMD’s are the fare.  Streamers and Chubbies are the offerings.

Pretty big flows still.  But reasonable to good fishing with well place dry flies and streamers.

Hannah and her first fish on the fly.
Great smile!

All of the low lying snow is gone!  Cooler spring overall.  We are going to see the river bump up a bit for irrigation but I might be remiss in saying this….But I think the overall ‘Run-off’ is over.

UPPER COLUMBIA

Fishing has been a little rough lately.   Cooler weather with BIG winds haven’t helped. Bugs include Mother’s Day Caddis and Blue Wing Olives.
PMD’s and Drakes coming soon. Regardless, fish are being caught and fun has been had.
