Alan Liere’s hunting and fishing report for Sept. 7

Fly fishing

Silver Bow Fly Shop said the fish in the Spokane River are responding in a good way to the cooler temperatures and some of the bigger fish are coming back out to play. Late-summer tactics still apply, though – Chernobyls or hoppers with droppers, Euro or indicator rigs.

The recent rain and cooler temperatures will be a big plus for the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene and the St. Joe rivers. Cooler weather will even kill the inner tube hatch. Look for usual late-summer patterns like attractors, terrestrials and small chubbies with droppers. Small parachutes or midges will do well for picky risers.

In the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, the Pillar-Widgeon Chain (Pillar, Snipe, Cattail, Shoveler, Hourglass, Sago and Widgeon) offers consistent rainbow trout fishing and is a favorite spot for fly anglers until closing Sept. 30.
 

Trout and kokanee

Trout are still biting on Spring, Blue and Deer lakes on the Wooten Wildlife Area near Pomeroy in southeast Washington. Rainbow Lake, also on the wildlife area, was experiencing a blue-green algae outbreak at the end of August.

In September, trout fishing concludes in many Columbia Basin waters. Year-round fisheries in Grant County are prominent, particularly around the Seep Lakes area south of Potholes Reservoir. Corral Lake, located just south of Potholes Reservoir, offers year-round angling opportunities for rainbow trout, largemouth bass and crappie. Warden Lake in Grant County is excellent for smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rainbow trout.
