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.

RECORDED: 
68 °
FISHING: Excellent
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 would like to thank everyone who participated in another successful Puget Sound Fly Company outing! While the weather left much to be desired, the fish and bugs didn’t seem to mind. The river decided to show its best stuff, by producing 3 great hatches in the span of several hours.
Clark and Chris walked in on the upper canyon yesterday. ‘Mother’s Day Caddis’! Clark said that they were so thick that he wore his hood up, just to prevent the little guys from flying into his ears! The trout eagerly latched onto anything that resembled the caddis. Without making this about numbers let’s just say that the fishing was great.
DRY FLIES: Elk Hair Caddis, Para Caddis, Goddard Caddis
NYMPHS: Vinyl Lightning, 3-D P.T., Olive Sparkle Pupa, Hare’s Ear, Crawling Caddis Pupa

RECORDED: 
0 °
FISHING: Great
The Mother's Day Caddis Hatch is just around the corner. These caddisflies are know as the American Grannom or (Black Caddis) and can show in big numbers in the late afternoon and early evening hours. A good dry pattern to use is the Elk Hair Caddis in dark green and browns and the Goddard Caddis in size 10-16. Fishing info provided by guide Bill Loder.
All About the Fly is pleased to be hosting a 'Fishing the Yakima' seminar from 10-2 with Bill on Saturday April 30.

Yakima River - April 19th, 2005

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 would like to thank everyone who participated in another successful Puget Sound Fly Company outing! While the weather left much to be desired, the fish and bugs didn’t seem to mind. The river decided to show its best stuff, by producing 3 great hatches in the span of several hours.
Beginning in the late morning B.W.O.’s began popping and the fish responded immediately. In the midst of this decent Blue Wing action, the March Browns began hatching sporadically. The fish immediately keyed in on these larger Mayflies and ate anything that got near them and resembled a March Brown. As if that wasn’t enough, further downstream we began to see a few Granom (Mother’s Day Caddis) hatching as well. Assuming that these were a few early individuals, we didn’t switch to Caddis until the fish were completely fixated on them. With some showers and cloud cover the Granom came off in droves and the trout came up in equal numbers.
Any one of these hatches would have been enough to make for a decent day, but all three was a rare treat.
DRY FLIES: Hatching B.W.O., Parachute B.W.O., Parachute P.T., Elk Hair Caddis, Para Caddis, Goddard Caddis
NYMPHS: Vinyl Lightning, 3-D P.T., Olive Sparkle Pupa, Hare’s Ear

Yakima River - April 10th, 2005
supplied by: The Avid Angler
RECORDED:
50 °
FISHING: Good
I fished the Yak around Cle Elum for a bit both during and after my Trout Rivers, Trout Tactics class. There was a heavy March Brown hatch of fairly short duration, but the fish were decidedly on them. I managed to hook a few on a March Brown Sparkle Dun.
I also fished in the evening and the fishing proved tough. The fish were midging beneath the surface and I hooked a few fish nymphing with a large attractor and a small midge emerger/larva trailing behind.
If I were going to the Yak right now, I would be prepared for March Browns during the day and either midge or caddis in the evening. It won't be long until the Mother's Day Caddis hatch occurs and then you'll want to be ready with plenty of caddis.
Stop by the store and we'll show you all the new caddis patterns that we brought in for 2005.

FISHING: Clark and some friends hit the ‘farmlands’ on the Yak yesterday. While B.W.O.’s and Skwallas are still lingering the name of the game was March Browns. Nymphing produced well throughout the day and March Brown emergers and dries caught fish during the mid-day hatch.

Rising fish, rising fish, rising fish! That's what's going on now on the Yakima. The flows are improving and so is the fishing. For those of you who like to throw dry flies, now is the time to head to the Yak.

Yakima River - March 21st, 2005
supplied by: The Avid Angler
RECORDED:
50 °
FISHING: Great
Where: Lower Canyon
Patterns fished: Brook's Sprout Baetis 18, Baetis Parachute 18, Mercer's Skwala Stone 8, MOAL Leech Olive/Black 6, Trina's Para Trooper 18, 20
Weather: Partly cloudly with light upstream wind. Clearing early afternoon
Time: Fished from 10am-6:00pm
There was a heavy baetis hatch with insects on the water from 11am to 2:30pm. Fish were rising freely, but they required precise presentations and accurate patterns.
We caught most of our fish on baetis imitations, but also rose a few on March Browns and Skwala dries.
After the baetis hatch, nymphing was effective with Skwala stone imitations. Streamers produce late in the day as the sun was settling behind the canyon.

Yakima River - March 20th, 2005

FISHING: The short story for this past Sunday on the Yakima was this: The weather was horrible, the fishing wonderful.
For the few hearty souls that braved questionable pass conditions and driving wind with rain, the rewards were sweet indeed. We left the driftboat on the trailer when we encountered the 20+m.p.h. winds and decided to wade instead. The Yakima came through with decent nymph fishing in the morning hours and a terrific Blue Wing hatch mid-day. We found ourselves right above ‘frustration flats’ in the middle of the canyon, literally surrounded by rising fish.
The fish were not easy to fool. Several different patterns were spent before we were able to get the best of these educated fish. Once we agreed with the fish on what they wanted, the fishing was spectacular.
FLIES: Hi-Vis Parachute B.W.O., B.W.O Cripple, 3-D P.T., Wd40 and Wd50.
