After getting tired of winter, we loaded up the boat and headed to Castlegar to chase Walleye in the first open water trip of 2014. Unfortunately the Walleye fishing was slow, we found a few small pockets of them, but they were reluctant to bite.
We opted to camp instead of staying in a hotel, despite the extended forecast for rain for the duration of our trip. We stayed at Passcreek Campground in Robson, just across the Columbia river from Castlegar. Great little campground, less than 2 minutes from the boat launch on the Columbia. If you are looking for a place to camp in the Castlegar area, I definitely recommend Passcreek Campground.
Water temperature in the river was 37-39 deg F. Clarity was great, no debris in the water yet from runoff.
