<strong>Nov</strong>ember fishing report<br />
Kootenay Lake:<br />
The water temperature is perfect<br />
and the fish are biting. Our temps have<br />
dropped to low 50s which has brought<br />
most fish to the surface. We have had<br />
some great days with up to 20 fish coming<br />
in, although we have experienced a<br />
few slower days this fall compared to<br />
last fall. Seems like the fish will put the<br />
feedbags on for a couple days, and then<br />
become lazy for a few days after.<br />
The latest catches have seen rainbows<br />
between 2 <strong>–</strong> 3 lbs and bull trout up to<br />
10 Lbs. We have seen the odd Rainbow<br />
over 4 Lbs, but not as many as we had<br />
expected. Especially since we saw some<br />
fat rainbows in August that were finding<br />
some kokanee to eat. This pattern<br />
has changed, and the fish are back to<br />
eating mysis shrimp or any remaining<br />
insects in the lake.<br />
October provided us with some<br />
decent weather and some really good<br />
outings. We have been taking a lot of<br />
corporate groups out lately, as the year<br />
is winding down for a lot of businesses<br />
who have been busy all summer and<br />
finally get to enjoy a break. These trips<br />
have been a blast. It’s always a good<br />
‘team building’ experience, with maybe<br />
a little bit of friendly competition to<br />
make it interesting.<br />
<strong>Nov</strong>ember/December have always<br />
been our best months in the fall, so<br />
we’ll see what the fish gods bring us.<br />
Columbia River:<br />
The river is still producing some<br />
beauty Rainbows, although we have<br />
wrapped up our guided trips on the jet<br />
sled for this season. Unless we get some<br />
mild, sunny days coming up.<br />
Last week, we did manage to land<br />
some rainbows up to 20 inches. The<br />
water remains<br />
low, and the fish<br />
are hanging in<br />
a lot of different<br />
runs. The braided<br />
water is still producing<br />
fish on<br />
the streamers or<br />
wooly buggers.<br />
And the back<br />
eddies are still<br />
holding fish and<br />
providing some<br />
good takes on<br />
the indicator and<br />
nymph.<br />
There are also still walleye hanging<br />
around, so that’s another option as well.<br />
While we may not make many trips on<br />
the jet sled coming up, we will still hit the<br />
river a few times from the shore this winter.<br />
Looking forward to some ‘float fishing’<br />
and some bottom fishing, as these<br />
are easy techniques from the shore.<br />
What are they biting on???<br />
On the lake, it’s been a mixed bag<br />
lately. One day the bucktails are working,<br />
but lately the spoons have been<br />
producing more. The fish seem to be<br />
located in pockets. We have covered a<br />
lot of water lately and found some good<br />
