YAKIMA
Overall fishing on the river throughout is average to good depending on the day.  Lots and lots of juvenile fish to be had with the dry fly.  A well placed summer stonefly dry and hopper can also produce some big fish.

Water temps are ranging between 60-65 degrees depending on zone, time of day and weather.

UPPER COLUMBIA
Was a good hatch season. We will be taking a break from the 15th of July to the end of August.  Obviously the fish are in the river but the catching is relegated to the final hour of the day during the summer duldrums.  We do have a few dates available for Fall!

 

KLICKITAT

Major glacier mud influenced currently…. Looking for some colder weather.
