YAKIMA

The river continues to fish average to good depending on the day. The river also continues to be lower than normal for this time of year….

Trout food includes….
#6-8 Golden Stones
#14-18 Yellow Mays
#14-18 Caddis
#12-18 Terrestrials – Ants and Beetles

Clarity is as follows

The entire river is fishing.  The river might require a bit more stealth based on the clarity and overall pressure.  Regardless,  some nice fish to be had with a well placed dry.

 

KLICKITAT RIVER

In phenomenal  shape. There are definitely fish in the system, both wild and hatchery.

Hard tailouts, big current lines, big flies and small flies too:))

 

UPPER COLUMBIA

This river is as low and clear as I have ever seen it at this time of year.  One BIG tailwater.   Longer leaders are in order:)
