I grew up on the bank of the kettle just north of orient. The water around orient is pretty lifeless, about 2 miles north it picks up a little for rainbows and about 5 miles south it holds afew smallmouth and a lot of walleye. The browns hold more over towards curlew I think. I didn't fish that much, but I've caught alot of rainbows later on towards the early summer.

Mike, I fished the Kettle River outside of Curlew for a day last fall. Drifted from several miles upriver down to Curlew and caught several nice rainbows. I was fishing dries, but heard that tossing streamers through some of the deep holes there can produce both rainbows and browns. It gets pretty low in the fall, and my bet is that a decent summer flow would make the fishing easier and better than what I found. I'd do it again in the fall again, but not drift so far so I didn't have to row as much. There is some good information in the "Fly Fishing in Washington" book.
