This Yakima river report is brought to you by the staff of Puget Sound Fly Company, with help from our customers. Please feel free to call us at (253) 839-4119 for further details or for help with pattern recommendations.
We had our annual Fall Yakima outing yesterday. Our flotilla of pontoons and rafts descended on Ringer along with several guide boats. Despite the number of fishermen, the ‘catching’ was great. The weather was perfect (for the bugs). B.W.O.’s were everywhere! The fish willingly ate nymphs all morning and then came steadily to the surface for several hours in the afternoon.
NYMPHS: Vinyl Lightning #18, WD40 #18, Pheasant Tail #18…
DRIES: Parachute B.W.O. #18, Adams Parachute #18

Yakima River - July 25th, 2005
supplied by: All About the Fly
RECORDED: 
85 °
FISHING: Good
For those of you that have heard the saying "You should have been here last week". Well, what else can I say, except, if you didn't get a chance to fish the Yakima river the last few weeks, you missed some great fishing. The fishing is still good to average, depending on which section. Keep pounding the banks with Big dry's and your favorite dropper. Nymphing during the hottest part of the day can be effective. And don't forget your sunscreen.

Yakima River Report for July 14, 2005
The summer dry fly fishing over the past 5 days has been exceptional. Every day is different.... and we understand that "you should have been here yesterday" means nada, however we predict some good-great dry fly fishing over the next few weeks.

The fishing yesterday was ROCKIN! End of Story! If I quoted numbers you wouldn't believe it anyways.

Yakima River Report for July 7, 2005
The summer fishing rolls on here on the Yakima. The Summer stonefly activity is in drive....not overdrive, but most certainly drive. The nymph activity is strong and the adult activity is average. This particular emergence is most definitely the strongest and longest of the Yakima's stonefly emergences-In essence, the premier stonefly on the Yakima. It also coincides with Hoppertunity and therefore can make for some decent to great big bug dry fly action. As of yet, the big dry fly game has been light. Watch for that to change soon!
Currently the other types of aquatic insects include...summer Baetis, various yellow mays #14-18, and a variety of Caddis (predominantly Glossosoma and Hydropsyche #14-18 Tan and Pale green), # 10 Crane flies (We have a great pattern in the shop for the Crane fly)
The terrestrial insects include...Grasshoppers, ants, beetles, snakes, lizards, groundhogs-just kidding on the last three.
Interesting summer time statistic- Percentage of terrestrial insect food versus aquatic insect food found in the stomachs of Rainbow/Cutthroat trout in two different stretch's of the Yakima.
Upper Canyon(Cle Elum to Thorp) - Approximately 85% Terrestrial
Lower Canyon (Ringer road to Roza) - Approximately 85% Aquatic.
Water temps remain good throughout the sytem!

Yakima River - June 27th, 2005
supplied by: All About the Fly
RECORDED: 
65 °
FISHING: Great
The river is at full summer flow, but has stabilized over the last week. The fishing has been very good. Numbers are up, and the bigger fish are jumping on the big dry flys. It's a little early, but fishing with large Hopper pattern's have been working well. ( be sure to add your favorite dropper about 18"-36" under that. (Copper John, Lightning bug, etc.)

Yakima River - May 31st, 2005
supplied by: All About the Fly
RECORDED:
65 °
FISHING: Good
The Yakima is on the rise, and will be for the next few weeks. This is a good thing, as it will keep the water temps down, although the wading opportunities will get tougher and your best bet from now until mid-August will be from a boat or raft. For the dry fly-fisherman, the weather all this week looks great. Lots of overcast days with some sun peeking trough and some rain showers are reported. Nymphing has been good throughout the day. PMD's, Mahogany Dun's, Yellow Mayfly's should all fool a fish or two.

Yakima River - May 16th, 2005
supplied by: All About the Fly
RECORDED:
68 °
FISHING: Good
Best opportunities would be nymphing in the morning and casting drys and emerger patterns in the afternoon. No major hatches coming off, but afternoon offerings of Caddis, Stones, PMD's and a few lingering March browns. The river spiked a few days ago due to some heavy rain, but has returned to normal and is in good shape.

Yakima River - May 16th, 2005
supplied by: The Avid Angler
RECORDED: 
68 °
FISHING: Excellent
I fished the Yakima from Umtanum to the Slab with a friend and the fishing in general was very good the whole day. The river has been up significantly from the the low, clear flows of winter and early spring, but it has stabilized and the fish have acclimated to the new levels. Wilson Creek is putting out alot of color so the river has a fair amount of color right now, but this didn't make any difference to the fish.
We started and finished the day nymphing and the most effective flies were:
Speculator Brown #6
Anatomay Olive #14
Hot Wire Caddis Tan #16
Lightning Bug #16
I fished the Speculator as the main fly fly and would drop one of the others off the back by about 12" to 16". I would say they took the big Speculator about 1/3rd of the time with the rest of the fish coming off the dropper.
The fish were tucked up in all the riffles and water with a little bit of speed to it. They were eating very aggressively and they fought well.
From 12:45pm until 3pm there was a major mayfly hatch of three different species. PMD's and Baetis were present, as well as a slate gray mayfly of about a size 16 or so. I haven't seen this bug before, but there were a ton of them. The fish were on the PMD's and the slate grey may, so the following flies were effective:
PMD Sparkle Dun #16
Parachute Adams #16 or #18
Tilt Wing Dun PMD #16
An accurate drag free drift was required, but once we did this, we were generally in to fish. At some point, the water was absolutely full of floating duns on the water. It was very cool to experience!
The evening produced a little caddis activity and I caught a few fish on:
X-Caddis Tan #14
Kingrey's Hi Vis Caddis #16
There wasn't much of an evening rise, however, so I finished the day nymphing with the patterns listed at the beginning of this report.
Now is as good a time as any to hit the Yak. Flows are good, the water has color and the fish are willing.

Clark, Ed and Jason floated from Irene to Ringer yesterday with decent results. The river is dropping steadily, but still has some color to it. A few Granom, some P.M.D.’s and the odd Salmonfly didn’t inspire the fish to look up very much, so most of the fish were take deep.
DRY FLIES: Elk Hair Caddis, Para Caddis, P.M.D.
NYMPHS: San Juan Worm, Vinyl Lightning, 3-D P.T., Olive Sparkle Pupa, Hare’s Ear, Crawling Caddis Pupa

Yakima River - May 6th, 2005
supplied by: The Avid Angler
RECORDED: 
75 °
FISHING: Great
The spring caddis hatch (mother's day caddis) is in full force right now on the Yakima and the fishing has generally been very good. We are also seeing decent numbers of PMD's and there are still a few March Brown's as well. I would also be prepared with a few golden stones to boot!
I would fish the following nymphs if there are no risers:
Morrish's super pupa in amber 14, 16
Hot wire caddis in olive and amber 14, 16
Anatomay in olive 14 (This was awesome last year!)
I would also have these flies for fishing the surface:
PMD Sprout emerger 16, 18
Trina's para trooper PMD 16, 18
Silvey's edible emerger (caddis) in tan 14
X-caddis tan 14, 16
Kingery's caddis parachute 14, 16
Gould's half down golden stone 8
The water has come up just a bit (200cfs) at this writing, but that doesn't affect the wading angler. Access is good and fish are spread out all over.

Yakima River - May 3rd, 2005
supplied by: All About the Fly
RECORDED:
68 °
FISHING: Great
The fishing is average to great, depending on which section of the river you chose to fish. Multiple hatches going on, be prepared with lots of different Caddis patterns, both adults and emergers. The March Browns, Pale Morning Duns, and the Blue wings are all making a daily appearances. Also - expect to see some Salmon flies along the banks.
