Yakima, Upper Columbia and Klickitat Report

Posted on

Fishing has improved on all fronts with the weather change.  Hopefully that will be helpful for the fires as well.

YAKIMA
Low, clear and fishing good.   Dry flies, droppers, nymph rigs and streamers have all worked lately.

Best bugs for us lately…
Royal Wulf #12-14
Adams #12-16
Purple Chubby #8-12
Cranefly adult #8-12
YB Soft Hackle #14-18
Sculpzilla #6-8

KLICKITAT
River is Steelhead Green and the fish have been caught by both tactics….Nymph and Swing.

Swing lines lately include – Dry lines with skaters and damp flies, Light tips and heavy tip.  Fish the water with the technique and line most appropriate for the situ.  Fish have wanted to chase….not a bad thing.

UPPER COLUMBIA
Dry flies, nymphs and swingtastic….:)
