Thought I would share a recent trip to the upper Columbia for trout. My wife and I stayed at "Black Bear Lodge" through Evening Hatch fly shop In Washington. I have to admit the fishing was as good as advertised and more consistent then the fishing I had had on two previous trips to Alaska...

Thanks for the link! What I thought was called a "lip" turns out to be an "ear"! At least I was in the vicinity.

A couple of different guides working Who likes who?

Thank you for the replies!

Gary Thats a serious WOW on the bread! What do you do to get the great lip?

I have a few days Id like to fish the Williamson the end of July. I am a DIY angler but am looking for recommendations for lodging (nothin fancy is fine) and a guide for a couple of days. Are there better options? Might Yamsi be worth it if available? Thanks for any reply.

I would suggest a mild abrasive WITHOUT a beaching agent, such as "Comet" no bueno. Maybe a diluted mix of baking soda and water. I used to raft a fair amount and maintenance was paramount. I would resort to Powdering my raft before putting away at the end of the season.

Yes especially if they know of some unfished, trophy sized trout rivers.

Thank You Thank You!!

Hello, Does anyone use a site for seeing the water temps on the Columbia river? Id love to know when the water reaches 50ish degrees. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks I'll have to look into rental accommodations I prefer "ala cart" trips.

Thanks for sharing the photos. I like the simple stuff as you show. Love running into Jacks. Lots of fun.

Sounds perfect, except the broken rod. Do you recall who was the guide or service you used?

Thanks for the reply. What lines did you favor? intermediates as well? Are you referring to "gurgler" type flies. Got a photo to share?

I'll look into that Thanks!

I'll be talking to Yellowdog next week. I'm hoping to put together a more "ala cart" visit. I've read some places will provide discounts during Aug-Oct but not refundable. Cant blame them.

Hello, Looking to put together a trip to the northern Yucatan for juvenile Tarpon. Any good or bad time, etc. any info is good info. PMs OK. Thanks for your reply.

Nice that a member provided you with a line. thats what some good forums can do. I agree with Buzzy about only one line most flats fishers know the value of a backup line I would still recommend an inexpensive backup like Maxcatch or similar. If you are close to Governors Harbor gool luck with...

Youtube is you friend What Island will you visit?

Get a "salt water" line from "Maxcatch" on the big auction site Will cost Less than $20.00. I use them as back up lines for my bonefish outfits actually a decent line. If you only fish one time it wont matter if you cant use it later but if you have not been bone fishing Im pretty sure it wont...
