Omak Lake (WA) Cold crisp mornings are the norm now, but that is okay. Catch a few Lahontan cutthroats and you should warm right up. The Lahontans are still very active as they continue to feed just out of sight. You might even catch a glimpse of one now and then as they come in to chase some bait fish. Most of the fish are averaging around 20 inches with a good handful hitting over the 26-inch mark. A number of small to medium streamers are working quite well. A few examples would be; a #10 to a #6 epoxy minnow, a #8 deadly shiner, a #8 baby gonga, and a #8 or #6 near nuff sculpin.  These are but a handful that we have been having good success with. I was out the other day and decided to play the indicator game. Balanced leeches in blacks, olive, or purple pulled in several fish. I then switched to bloodworms for a while and had...

Coeur d'Alene River Fishing is great right now, guys.  The cooler weather and rain has helped a ton and will keep the fish feeding up on top.  There are also lots of blue-winged olives, mahoganies, October caddis as well.  You’ll find that the middle of the day and afternoon when things have had a chance to warm up, will be the best fishing times.  Using smaller blue-wing olives 18-20s with an emerger or soft hackle dropper behind it will work.  If you are fishing the October caddis, remember to "skate" or "twitch" them, rarely do the real ones stay still on the water. A large size 6 or 8 orange stimulator is a perfect October caddis imitation.  Use Loon High and dry powder on them after they get waterlogged and keep them dry and they will produce much better.  Also, don't forget to try a streamer here and there too.  Finally, ...

We all learn, when we are little, that a pot of gold lies at the end of any rainbow. Those who do pursue a rainbow’s terminus will only be met with frustration. In many respects, I feel the same way about rainbow trout fisheries in Washington state. Don’t get me wrong, I love catching rainbows and pound for pound you won’t find many harder fighting fish in the state. However, rainbow trout are so widespread in the evergreen state that it's hard to avoid them, frustratingly so. You might think it odd to be frustrated with catching fish, but I’m a person who likes a little variety in his life. After all, you can only chase the pot of gold for so long before it gets boring. Alternative trout fisheries in the state do exist, many are underutilized, and some provide the potential for trophy fish. Here is a rundown of some alternative W...
