Hopefully, anglers are out participating in the best steelhead season ever on our area streams. If steelhead fishing isn’t your cup of tea, there are plenty of other options out there. For trout anglers, one of the fall fisheries that is at the top of the list is the month-long season on Jameson Lake. From October 1st to the end of the month the lake is open to trout fishing, and it can be the best of the year. Trout that were planted last fall and in the spring have had all season to grow. Fish that have avoided anglers hooks in the spring-through early summer season will be big and hungry. I was talking to a bass angler buddy of mine the other day, and he was anxious to introduce his wife to the great smallmouth bass fishing that can be had on Banks Lake in the month of October. There can be lots of clear, calm and sunny days on Banks in the fall and the smallmouth can be very aggressive. Last year in early October a couple of friends of mine and I fished for largemouth at Roses Lake, and had a ball. Of course the salmon fishing for fall-run kings is going great guns below Wanapum and Priest Rapids Dam right now, too.
