‘Purdy’ Klickitat fish

Sporadic year overall.  Every encounter was appreciated. Some weeks were TOUGH catching, others not as much.  The 2017 season closes at the end of the month. Although lots of fish make for a great day, 1 fish is awesome.  Finding one fish with a swung fly takes the cake…

Recent fishing has been decent.  The above pictured fish came on 2.75 inches of a chartruese dumbell eyed black leech fished behind a 550  I Flight  with 10 feet of T-8.   In fact two fish ate that combo in the same run within 5 casts.  One was landed.

Water clarity is at 4.5 feet with the water temp ranging from 41-44 degrees depending on time and zone.
