UPPER COLUMBIA RIVER

This is the one river that does not “Blow Out”  believe it or not….Current visibility is 6 feet.  Current bugs include Baetis, Caddis, March Browns.   Predominant tactic lately is nymphing with some swinging and dry flies. Here is a world class trout caught recently….Not all of them are this big:)
