I have "Gone where no man has gone before", without a boat anyway! The lake is so dry in the shallow areas you can walk to the "island" in the lake and fish from spots not available before, at least ...

We took a few minutes to hit up Dry Falls. This lake is a selective gear fishery, and no motors of any kind are allowed. There is also not a ton of bank access, but we found a spot just before sun d...

On the road in were 5 mule deer. While casting from shore a muskrat swam by a few feet away. Took me several casts, mostly because I was reeling too fast, to hook a nice fat 15 inch 'bow which I rel...

Went to Dry Falls with my dad on Saturday and absolutely had a blast! We ended up catching 30 Rainbows between the two of us. We trolled and casted flies, but trolling seemed to be our best bet. I als...

The drive to Dry Lake from the Seattle area was so worth it. My first time there. Water level was low. Launched the 'Portabote' in 6" of water. Fortunately it floated enough to drudge through to the...

Fished the sunrise bite on Saturday last. Rising rainbows on the west banks. There were a fair number of Damsel fly adults on the water, odd considering water temp. and early in the year. I fished an ...

Fished from 11:30 to 6:45. My buddy and I caught 18 Rainbows from 13 inches to 20 inches. All of the fish were shaped like footballs; they were nice fat fish that fought like crazy! Great day on the w...

Not surprisingly, the National Weather Service forecast I checked early in the morning was not really encouraging. When it is windy, my first choice is always Dry Falls. My first cast was around 11:...

Fished dry falls most of the evening from a pontoon boat. Fishermen earlier in the day suggested gray nymphs down deep, but the advice didn't work for us. The many fish seen rising didn't seem to li...

Slow and then slower. Not too many anglers catching fish. About 25 of us on the water and the fish just didn't want to cooperate. Between the two of us, we caught a total of 5 fish in two days. I wi...

Co-------old, but water was almost crystal-clear. Only a few rises here and there sporadically, so my first choice of flies was a "Bloodworm" but it was fruitless for an hour. To break the silence a...

No deer spotted on our way to Dry Falls this time, so my friend Eldon was not sure if our flyfishing would be any good or not. Just for fun, we convinced ourselves that deer would bring us luck to ou...

Fishing Dry Falls in November is always challenging to me. Based on the weather forecast, it was supposed to be sunny, 5-MPH wind, and high at 46-degree F. So I decided to use a 6-weight medium fast...
