KLICKITAT, YAKIMA & UPPER COLUMBIA REPORT

YAKIMA RIVER

The Upper Canyon is sporting some good action on dries, dry droppers and nymphing spots. Lots of little guys and a few ‘kickers’.  This past Saturday was tougher on the dry fly game until late. Fished a streamer hard both swinging and on the move and under a bobber. PMDs, Sallies, a few Drakes and Caddis.
CFO s chubby’s,  Hoppers,  Ants,  Beetles and little parachutes.

KLICKITAT RIVER

This image is compliments of The Canyon Market in Klickitat  |   This image is as good as the river has been when it comes to clarity.  There is a bit of a cycle happening and this is at town hole in the AM on the 13th.

Overall clarity is ranging from 14 inches to 6 inches depending on time and zone…..

No trips for us here.

 

UPPER COLUMBIA

This heat wave has slowed the fishing and pushed the activity towards the end – basically the last 2 hours.  The Drakes overall are on the decline. Caddis are STRONG in the last hour but difficult to match.
