Rufus Woods Reservoir is always popular for the opportunity to catch the triploid rainbow trout. Thanks to the Colville Tribe, there are annual plants of these fish to keep the number of fish available to freshwater anglers eager to make the trip to this 50-mile long reservoir on the Columbia River. Triploids have an amazing growth rate and fish weighing to 20 pounds and even larger can be caught. There is something new happening this season that is giving anglers another incentive to give Rufus Woods a try. The Colville Tribe is sponsoring a fishing derby, and it is being conducted by Anglers Atlas. I did a video a couple of years ago that is a guide to fishing upper Rufus Woods, and I show folks the boat launches and fishing accesses to the upper reservoir. I also explain in detail the necessary permits and licenses required to fish on the Colville Reservation and at the locations I mention in the video. I even describe the technique that I use to catch triploids from the shore. To watch this video, just log onto the Dave Graybill YouTube channel and search for the Guide to Upper Rufus Woods Reservoir.
