FISHING: Clarity has returned to the river although it remains high. Fishing should be great despite the water levels. Check the river flows (below) for up to the minute informations. Anglers should expect warm weather to greatly improve the Skwala fishing. From Cle Elum down to Roza Skwala nymphs have been the name of the game, but expect Adults to play a greater role as sunny weather continues.

Yakima River - March 9th, 2004

FISHING: Good
Yakima River Report March 8, 2004 6pm The Fishing Factor-Good
Unfortunately the incredibly warm weather we received today has changed the color of the river as well as increased the flows, specifically from the Teanaway down. All the tributaries from the Teanaway down are contributing to the discoloration. The weather calls for colder nights and things should look better by the end of the week.
The last few days on the Yakima has been good fishing. Fish have most certainly been keying on Blue Wings over the last week. The rises have not been prolific and in fact quite subtle. Therefore, taking your time and observing will pay off. The fish as usual want their dry fly offering, drag free.
Skwala action while not incredible, has certainly been worthy. Our water has been lower then normal (until today) for this time of year which makes for less water bankside....Bankside is some of the best habitat for Stone Activity. Regardless, Skwala action remains in 2nd gear.

Yakima River Report Feb 17, 2004 6am The Fishing Factor-Good to great
Since our last report we have seen some interesting weather (wet snow), been humbled by a few rising fish, and hooked some jim dandies. The entire river is in excellent condition. Active insects include adult Midges and Blue Wings and a myriad of active nymphs. Water temps have dropped about a degree throughout the system.
Look for our both at the FF Show Feb 20-22nd; Our booth will be at the end of the casting pond! We will be doing a presentation on the Yakima River (The Yakima; A River For All Seasons) in the Destination Theater all three days; Friday @ 1:30pm Saturday @2:30pm Sunday @ 12:30pm. The Shop in Ellensburg will still be open and we will be guiding daily.

Yakima River - January 21st, 2004
supplied by: The Evening Hatch
FISHING: Great
January 21, 2004
Although this may sound like a broken record, the fishing on the Yakima continues to be great. We are about 40 days away from seeing adult insects (Skwalas and Blue Wings) and therefore the nymph activity is most certainly optimal. After years of fishing the river I can understand why it may be a bit frustrating for new anglers on the river as there is plenty of water that looks fishy that simply does not produce. However, my reccomendation is to put your time in and you will start to see what the river has to offer as the numbers of trout caught will increase. I remember talking with one of the 'ol timers' when I started fishing the river and his premise was, "The Yakima has a large amount of great fish water but only a certain amount of that water holds trout." This is so true! Once you start to learn some of the nuances of the river, your catch rate will go up!
When we quote numbers, most will say " No way!". However, if they spend a day waterside with us, their opinions change. It is not because we are brilliant....it is because after literally 4,000 combined floats on the watershed in the last 12 years we have learned the "ins and outs" of the system.
Adult midges, various nymphs and streamers are all part of the arsenal currently and the fishing is gooood!

Yakima River Report Jan 17, 2004
The Yakima river is definitely back on track....Multiple techniques again have proved effective. Dry fly midge fishing has been decent in isolated zones. The nymphing is a mainstay at this time of year. The proverbial stone nymph and dropper fished at different depths depending on the water is a great angle. We are about 40 days away from both Blue Wing and Stone fly hatches and therefore utilizing nymphs matching the two aforementioned insects should prove effective. The nymphs of the two above listed insects are most definitely active as we speak. The magic temperature for adult insect activity is the 42 degree mark. That is not to say there will be no adult Blue Wing and Skwala Stone activity prior to that temperature, but when we start seeing that 40-42 degree mark on any consistent basis, all heck will break loose.
Stone nymph patterns .....Double Bead Stones, Mini Rubber Leg K-Stones, The Catch All, 20inchers
Droppers....Copper Johns in various colors, PT's, PT Flashbacks, Lightning Bugs, Brassies in various colors etc.
Not to sound like a broken record, but swinging the fly has been a great technique as well. And as always, at this time of year, stripping streamers is worthy.
This is certainly my most favorite time of year...Pre-spawn rainbows, cold and generally clear water, La Primera hatches of the season and ample wildlife; what more could you ask for!
On another note...Just spent a day out on the coast with my friend, Gordon Gracey chasing Steelhead. Gordito's knowledge of the coast is remarkable...Actually, he is a bit uncanny!
