On the waters of the Colville National Forest.
The lakes and rivers of the gorgeous Colville National Forest are prime fishing spots. Within the 1.1-million-acre wilderness, the Kettle River and the upper portion of the Columbia River flow, rich with 20 species of fish. Trout especially love the cold waters; you’ll hook rainbow, German brown, brook, westslope cutthroat, and more.
