YAKIMA RIVER REPORT

Posted on

Little tougher lately.  Water temps have been 66-72 degrees lately depending on where you are in the system and time of the day.   Based on the Bureau of Reclamation gauge, which is admittedly not completely accurate.  Regardless,  a little warm.  

Oxygenated waters have been key for nymphing…#12 and 14 Classics have been the ticket recently with the #8-10 Stone nymphs taking a third place.  
Dry flies on hopper banks and in the last hour with Caddis.
There have been a lot of recreation floaters and cliff jumpers lately…..Stay clear of them or the may end up in your boat looking for a beer or falling from the sky.
Gary and Mackenzie!
