I got this limit of rainbow in less than two hours on my first visit to Lake Roosevelt. I fished from shore at Spring Canyon Park. The trout averaged 15 inches.

Here is a boat on Lake Lenore in about as calm of weather I have ever seen. There were two boats trolling for Lahontan cutthroat.

Here's a nice walleye that Rollie Schimitten caught on Rufus Woods. It hit a spinner and nightcrawler trolled in 30 feet of water.

It would have been a great day to be on Fish Lake. Not a breath of wind, and this is a great time of year to troll flies for rainbow, triploids and big brown trout.

I discovered a new fishing access above Chief Joseph Dam on Rufus Woods. There is a toilet, parking area and fire box on the bank below. You can reach it by turning left on Murphy Road.

This is one of two hatchery steelhead I caught while floating the Grande Ronde River with Guide Brian Nielson, BJ Guide Service. I also caught and released a small king and a wild steelhead.

The scenery on the Grande Ronde River is spectacular. This just one bend that is a popular camping spot for anglers that are spending multiple days on the river. Fall colors are blazing!

Guide Aaron O’Leary is about to release a wild steelhead that I caught while fly fishing on the Methow River. I got two on my fly rod and three more fishing with a Pin Reel and Rod.

Jim Passage poses with guide Aaron O’Leary with a dandy Methow River steelhead. Passage caught the fish while trying Pin Reel fishing for the very first time. Not bad Jim!

I wanted to see if the rainbow fishing at Lake Chelan was as good I was hearing about, so my biddies and I gave it a try. Jim Passage is holding the biggest of many we caught.
