YAKIMA

The Yakima river is at fall levels now and many would call this their favorite season. The catching has been legit with some nice fish and good numbers

Predominant bugs include: Summer stones # 6-8 soon to be a thing of the past for 2024  but still a few around

Crane flies #10 Craneflies are active and bouncing flyers. On many rivers, the trout do not target the adults. We are fortunate on the Yakima,  as they do here!!

Grass hoppers # 8-12
Caddis #16 Hydros generally hatching in the late morning
October Caddis #8-10
Fall Baetis #18-20 
Mahogany Duns #16

KLICKITAT

Definitely some fish around. Last couple days the water was a little rough; we should be back on track now. Both swing and nymph tactics are worthy. Certainly prefer to let’er swing. John Miskulin just did that and ended up with a big smile!

KVICHAK

Literally world class trout fishing….plain and simple. Don’t know how else to state it. No bobbers, just swinging. Variable tips to match the water.
