Alan Liere's hunting and fishing report for Oct. 22, 2026

A Oct. 22, 2026 fishing report says fall conditions are holding up across multiple Washington and Oregon-area waters, with shifting insect hatches and fish moving deeper. Silver Bow Fly Shop expects a mix of October caddis and mahogany duns, with blue-winged olives and midges becoming more important. The advice emphasizes nymph patterns and slow streamers in mornings, dry-fly activity later in the day, and deeper, slower water as fish leave riffles. Dry Falls Lake and Lake Lenore remain open through November. Lake Roosevelt is producing trout up to 17 inches via trolling about 15 feet deep, while several other lakes highlight seasonal targeting for kokanee, tiger trout, steelhead and salmon.
