The Kettle is however effected by heavy rains and will blow out quickly due to large rain storms. The beauty is that it clears up quickly as well. The Kettle then re-enters Washington at Laurier a much larger river because of other water contributions and finally travels South until Kettle Falls where it enters the Columbia River. For all intents and purposes the trout fishing we are targeting is between Ferry and Danville. When the larger Kettle re-enters Washington at Laurier it is a river that holds Trout, Walleye and Bass and the population of trout per mile is significantly less then in the waters between Ferry and Danville.
Techniques vary from dry flies to nymphs to streamers.
One of our favorite times to fish the river is in August with Hoppers and Ants. It is not uncommon to see many deer daily and the lack of people on the river is also a pleasantry. Advanced booking is recommended because of the distance to the Northeast corner of Washington. From Seattle the drive is approximately 6 hours. We suggest a two day trip.
