Jeff Witkowski from Big Dog Fishing Guide Service e mailed me today to give me a report from Grimes Lake and the Lahonton cutthroat fishery. He mentioned that the fishery was considerably slower this year as far as numbers went but the average sized fish is considerably larger, which for a lot of us is a plus. He mentioned that black chironimids and bead-head pheasant tail nymphs were the ticket to success. Included is a nice photo that Jeff sent along with a respective cutthroat.
Don't forget that on Thursday July 1st the upper section of the Columbia opens for salmon fishing and with a 3 fish limit on the kings and an additional 3 fish limit on sockeye should lend for some fairly hefty bag limits. (If you have been watching the dam counts recently you would know that there is great potential for some outstanding fishing.)
Jeff is quite knowledgeable on this upper Columbia fishery and produces well, If you would like to book a trip with Jeff you can contact him below.
