I'm not sure, I think my dad said that we will be fishing around Castlegar or something like that.
But thanks for the info, I am sure it will get me a few fish. :D

Can you fly fish from shore?

there are many places that you can catch rainbow from shore between trail and castlegar but its much more productive from a boat. For the walleye you want to be out in the deeper sections, they mostly hold in 20 to 40 ft of water.

exactly what quincy says, Castlegar and Trail is minutes apart, for shoreline fishing, Gyro park is a good place to start. If you are into using baits, a small chuck of roe under a float is deadly for the rainbow as well.

Good luck.

Your tips helped ALOT. I went out for an hour before dark. Got 7 walleye and was surprised to have reeled in a juvenile white sturgeon that had inhaled my jig.
Thanks again for all the info and I will be uploading pictures as soon as I get back. (and as soon as find out how to post pictures :P) ;D

Thanks Nicolas.

Just got back to Vancouver. I was AWSOME on the Columbia. We got UGE walleye and I managed to catch a juvenile sturgeon weighing around 2.5 pounds which was successfully released. Both me and my dad lost huge walleye, mine was about 8 pounds and his was about 6. But I got in a nice 4 pounder. We hooked alot of fish, but quite a few broke off. Just wondering what will happen to my hook? Will it rust out? I seriously recommend heading down there. Lots of walleye and lots of fun.
Gonna post some pictures later. ;D Thanks for all the tips. :)

I fished a place I think was called Manita just 300 yards from the US border. Great place. I used jigs and wedding bands with worms. Try to get it a few centimeters off the bottom or on the bottom.
