YAKIMA RIVER REPORT – 3/29/15

Posted on

The river bumped up recently and slowed the dry fly fishing a bit.  Streamers and nymphs have been the ticket over the last 48 hours.  Prior to the bump, the overall dry fly fishing  had been good and should resume.  

Best nymphs lately
#14 – 16 Purple Lightning Bug, FB Pheasant Tail, Black Copper John
Best Streamers
#4-6 Dali Lama, Sculpzilla, Sparkle Minnow
Current Hatches Include
#10 Skwala
#12 March Brown
#16 Blue Wings
#12-14 Brown Sedge
#16 Tan Sedge
#12 Flying Ants
Mother’s Day Caddis might actually be great this year with the lack of  high water;  This should kick in around the 3rd week of April this year…..just a guess.  Salmon flies will most likely kick into gear with the Caddis.
