As September has now passed, I look back at all the special memories created this month. With many new anglers coming out with me, and many repeat anglers, it was a month to remember. The fishing was fantastic again this season, despite warm temperatures almost daily. It is always wise to get up early and get out there when the water temperatures are cooler! This is especially important for two reasons. One, you beat other anglers and guides to the river, giving you the best chance at a stellar day. I always want to be the first boat to launch for this reason. Secondly, the water temperatures usually cool off at night, so getting out early gives you the best chance at the best fish! Being at the boat launch as the sun is just coming up gives you an advantage on a heavy pressured river system.
As a result of getting up early, and beating the crowds to the river, we were successful in getting both some amazing rainbow trout and some stellar browns as well. Due to the Covid pandemic, the borders to Canada were closed, which meant there were not as many anglers from out of country fishing the river. A little less pressure this year, which lead to a little more fish in the net.
I would like to thank each angler who came out with me this September. Below are some images of the fantastic catches we put in the net this month. Remember, always have sharp hooks and keep the line tight!
