YAKIMA

Like a broken record…. Fishing  is GREAT right now.  We are seeing a few adult Skwalas currently.  Fishing an adult pattern in likely water is WORTHY.

TIP of the day – Never overlook the slow froggy water to fish the adult Skwala. More about the Skwala

UPPER COLUMBIA

Currently the river is on the drop and in great condition with 8 feet of visibility. Utilizing a variety of sinking lines in various lengths and densities based on depth and flow has been a worthy angle.  ‘Bobbercation’ aka ‘Nymphing’ has been worhty as well.

March 20 – May 20    Take advantage of our early season rates.  See some great country, experience some good fishing with no one around.

The entire river is fishing great after the big bump of water. Stones, worms, sculpins, and various streamers working  well. Next couple weeks look very mild and should be some great  fishing. Not too long and we will see some adult Skwalas flying around.

The Yakima is in GREAT shape and fishing just as well.  Plain and simple the only thing we have been using is a stonefly and a worm combo under an indicator….with a bit of streamer fishing mixed in.

You may want to here something more profound and see some crazy video that is EPIC… But, I dont have one. On the water 365 since 1988.

Little rough on all fronts lately…..The rivers affected by mega rain.  Olympic Peninsula rivers as well as the Yakima.

Olympic Peninsula river are coming back into shape.  The Yakima is still a still a ways out!
