Spokane River Report 12.14.15

Fishing on the Spokane river has been good the last few days with nice size Redbands looking for small midges and BWO's in the slack water right tight against the bank and even up in the scrub brush. The down river side of almost every island we came across had fish feeding as well. Size 20 Last Chance BWO's and any small midge or gnat patterns are working. River flows are up so wade fishing could be a little more difficult. If this is your option, proceed with caution. Streamers in black/olive/white/yellow combinations are working the best. Slow strips in all the slack water seems to be the most productive. Our best success came from throwing streamers to the bank on our way down river from a drift boat. When we would come across rising fish, we would have to anchor and fish a delicate presentation or they were quick to spook.

I would definitely recommend heading to the Spokane River soon to cure the fishing itch if you got it.
