YAKIMA RIVER UPDATE – MARCH 5, 2016

Posted on
Reasonable fishing on the Yakima recently.  Some adult Skwala action, some nymphing with Skwala nymphs and San Juan worms.  Very light BWO action and a bit of Streamer fishing here and there.
A little on Shallow Water Nymphing

Blue Wing Olives  are Mayfly Swimmers and they originate/live in slower and a bit deeper boulder strewn runs.

March Browns are Mayfly Clingers and they originate in riffles.  Although we haven’t seen any yet, they are just around the corner!
