Mae is hooked on Yakima Fishing!

YAKIMA
Water is  up to normal levels. Lower canyon-lots of caddis, pmds holding on. Summer stone nymphs moving. Sally’s showing and few little green drakes and size 20 Baetis. Small dry fishing tough because of all the precocial salmon. Worst we have seen.  They should be flushed out of the river by now?  Maybe they released late?  Fishing has been good with dry dropper and nymphing. Lots of 10-13 inchers with a few in the 15-18 range. Upper canyon pmds still strong 1-3p.  Water temps are great in great condition as is the river.

UPPER COLUMBIA

The Summer hatches are in full bloom.  The heat wave has condensed the opportunity time to a smaller window.  Spotted Sedge Caddis, Black Quill Drakes, Green Drakes, Baetis and PED’s make up the mix.
