YAKIMA AND KLICKITAT REPORT – 8/3/17

YAKIMA REPORT

Been awhile since the last report…The Yakima is like any other Western stream in the blazing heat…. A little tough.  Ironically the smoke from the fires add a bit of ‘cover’ and block  the amount of direct light which is an artificial cloud cover.  Hat’s off to all the firefighters out there and hope they get the blazes under control.  Regardless, the mornings and evenings remain the time to be on the water.  Sometimes, the earlier or later, the better.

Bugs of the month – Summer Stones, Caddis,  Cahills, Terrestrials
