    Shorter days and cooler weather will trigger aggressive spawning behavior with the brown trout this November through January with specimen trout to the net. Streamer fishing will just get better as the Winter progresses. Also some really good BWO mayfly hatches will brings pods of fish to the surface most afternoons making for some consistent dry fly action.

    Steelhead fishing has been great and been getting into some nice silver fish and should continue to get better as we get settled into the winter.

    Cooler night temperatures mean insect hatches are more active especially early mornings. Blue wing olive nymphs and emergers are working very well by themselves in slower water, dropped under a weighted woolybugger in fast water. Midges are still active early. Some afternoons are fishing well but not yet enough activity to warrant any afternoon or full day trips just yet. Bite is still somewhat soft so hook set on the slightest twitch is very important

    Fly fishing is great early morning only during hot/warm weather. Midge and caddis dominate early morning hatches. Strikes are delicate so don't hesitate to set the hook.

Fishing report from Kit B. in Broken Bow, Oklahoma

    Fishing has been excellent!!! Even a few big ones landed lately!!! Morning has been the best time to fish. It's the time of year where small flies work the best. Zebra midge is assorted colors work the best in size 20. Scuds are also working well in size 20. Come fish with me!

    Our fishery is undergoing a final transition from winter, with the big spring bugs and baitfish in the rivers and lakes, respectively, starting to move. 2023 has seen more fish in the net over 20" than I can recall, with a few days providing multiple fish over 2 feet. Our approach has been almost exclusively streamer fishing - the dry fly game is yet to pop - which is completely fine with me. A lot of fish have come in on spectacular displays of aggression while fishing flies in the 6-9" range. Still, some nice fish and one taping at 26" have been tricked by some of the smaller articulated streamers with which most streamer anglers are familiar. We're approaching the time of year when sight fishing to risers makes up an increasing percentage of our time on the water; winter is about 80/20 streamers/dries, while the other seasons are ~60/40 - some days more, some less. The dynamic of stopping to fish dries then picking up the streamer rod when the anchor is pulled is a great way to change up the pace, expose anglers to different types of fishing, and show off the river. April is already looking to have an awesome start, with fish keying in on the big caddis that are just beginning to move around. Lake temps are hovering in the 54-57° degree range, while the river at its mouth is reading 52°. As that variance shifts due to warming lake temps, please hold onto your rod!

    Fishing around the Olympic Peninsula has been steady as water conditions have been stable most of February and early March. Chilly mornings and blue skies make for great steelheading

    Weather: 30 to 60+ degrees Fishing on the Salmon River is awesome and the water is up. Lake Ontario Brown Trout are biting very well when the lake conditions permit us to get out. All the fishing is good and will continue to all spring.
