YAKIMA RIVER

Fishing has been pretty amazing so far this year.  With this warming trend the Yakima is currently WAY out of shape.

UPPER COLUMBIA

Dang good fishing on this one currently.  No problems when it comes to fluctuations.  The Columbia is a massive watershed and is fed by multiple reservoirs. Basically this means there is a large ‘ cushion ‘ above and it doesn’t really ever blow out. In fact, she is on the drop and will be at its lowest level most likely on the 21st of April.

 

THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA

The season closes at the end of this month. It has been a bit spotty so far this year but certainly has had some highlights.   We have caught them on the swing and with the bobber.  Fish the way you want.  It is your day:))
