YAKIMA

The river has remained in good to great condition, however it appears based on the prediction of the NW RIVERS site that the river will be out of shape for a few days this week. ( See prediction graph below)

Clarity Chart 
Upper Proper            5-6 feet
Upper Flatlands      8 feet
Upper Canyon         6-4 feet
Farmlands                4-2.5 feet
Lower Canyon         2 feet

The fishing has been good.

MVP Bugs Include….
#14-16 YB Soft Hackle
#4-8 Sparkle Minnows
#4 Black/Orange Pats
#12 March Brown Parachute

In typical fashion, for this time of year,  this is the projection for the next few days…

 

 

UPPER COLUMBIA

The lake is now starting to fill and in essence “back fill” the lower river.  Fishing overall this spring has been average to good — typical.  All rivers in the west / northwest will have plenty of cold clean water this year.

The swing game has slowed down and the nymphing has become a mainstay…..
