The late afternoon and evening continues to rule. There are a variety of  insects including terrestrials.  The Drake generally wins, but is waning for the 2015 season.  We will be giving the UC a break soon and getting ready for our late summer/fall season starting late August.

Hot temperatures which in turn has equated to warm water has forced us to stop fishing the Kettle river.  The main stem Columbia continues to produce some gooood fishing. Surface water temps on the UC are 59-63F Numbers are generally not the game here, but quality can be as shown below.  Bugs include, Drakes and Caddis predominantly.

The Yakima is fishing great with Hoppers and droppers and Summer Stones and droppers.  Water temps are holding at 60 in the middle of the day!  The Yakima is one of the best in the west during the heat of summer.

Here is a great Hopper/Dropper Rigging!
