KLICKITAT RIVER – JUNE 5, 2015

Author Jack MitchellPosted on

Great river conditions lately…The clarity will most likely be marginalized by the current heat wave. We will keep you updated.  Recent fishing has be GREAT.  Recent CATCHING has been average for us. Definitely need to work for the fish.  No dry fly action for us since the opener.

Wahooo!

Nymphs – Pats Stone Etc…
Adults – Chubbies, Stimulators, C-Ants
The river is completely different at the Blue Ribbon origin below Lake Easton than it’s final stretch in the Lower Canyon near Roza Dam.  It is for this reason a single report is difficult to summarize the entire river’s activity. That being said,   throughout the system, the overall nymph game has been stable to good and the dry fly fishing about the same or a tad bit less predictable.
We are starting to see a few hoppers as well….Remember, Ants are trout candy.
