YAKIMA

The water is dropping and with the lower night temps, water temps are lowering. Dry and dry dropper fishing is automatic at times with summer stones and hoppers. There are still a few sallies lingering and bees, ants and beetles are on the menu. Stripping or swinging a streamer can be deadly for bigger fish. In the next two weeks we will see crane flies and October Caddis. A wonderful time to be on the Yakima!

KLICKITAT

The river definitely has plenty of fish.  We just need some consistent clarity of  18 inches or more.  Both the swing and nymph has produced  recently.  The hard part is actually landing them. This cooler weather should help alot!

 

SOUTHWEST RIVERS

The southwest rivers are doing well.  Not crowded and fairly predictable.  There are dry line and deeper opportunities.  Hatchery fish tend to want it in their face more than the wild version…. so dry lines can be less predictable on them.

 

UPPER COLUMBIA.

We are getting ready for a busy fall on the Upper Columbia.  We typically do not run trips in August  because the river can be very unpredictable.  There are fish to be had but we would rather provide a bit more consistency for the guest base.  We are opening in the first week of Sept and are full till the end of our season up there for multi day programs except for 2 spots for 2 people. Holler if interested.
