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: Great
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.

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.

Yakima River - March 15th, 2005
supplied by: All About the Fly
RECORDED:
0 °
FISHING: Fair
Without harping on and on about how low the river is right now, if wading is your game, now is the time to be over fishing the Yak. The Blue Wings and the March Browns are making a daily appearance. The fishing has been average to good. The weather has been great and looks like all next week will be even better with a few clouds showing up.

Yakima River - March 7th, 2005
supplied by: The Avid Angler
RECORDED: 
55 °
FISHING: Good
Where: Red’s to the Slab in the Canyon
Patterns fished: Beldar Bugger, Skwala nymphs, Skwala dries, red copper johns, Baetis paratrooper, baetis sparkle dun, spectre soft hackle.
Weather: Sunny and mild all day
Time: Fished from 10am-6:00pm
The fishing was great until the wind came up and BLEW all the bugs away. Even nymphing was tough as the downstream blow kept a belly in your line constantly and prevented drag free drifts.
A very nice baetis hatch started at about 11:45 or so and the fish were rising nicely to emergers and adults. The Trina paratrooper in size 18 produced a fish for my partner on his very first cast! I hooked and landed several fish on a baetis sprout emerger, before the wind shut the fish and us down for the better part of the day.
We rose a few fish to Skwala dries (Gould Half Down and the Hummer Skwala, both size 8) and I dredged a few up on Mercer's Skwala Nymph (8)and Natural Double Bead Stone (8). The fish seemed to key on the Skwala dries towards the late afternoon and evening.
My partner also hit a few fish on a Beldar Bugger in brown and orange.
Plan on having plenty of patterns for Skwala's and baetis. Stop by the store, we have many new dries and nymphs that will produce on the Yakima RIGHT NOW!

FISHING: Clark fished the Yakima on Thursday with decent results. Ed Day and Clark floated from Irene to Ringer and encountered good hatches of midges and Blue Winged Olives. With summer and fall water levels in question, take advantage of the spring weather and get out while you can.
Stay current with river flows listed below, but right now wading is superb with low water.
FLIES: Lightning Bug, Hot Skwala, Grifith’s Gnat, Iced Skwala, and 3D P.T.’s (pearl).

Yakima River - March 1st, 2005
supplied by: All About the Fly
RECORDED: 
0 °
FISHING: Fair
Dry Fly fishing is just around the corner. The entire system is offering good wading conditions at this time and the river has actually been dropping slightly all week. The weather pattern this week will be favorable for Dry's. Good patterns to have would be Blue Wings, Skwala Stone and coming soon the March Browns. Fishing info provided by guide Bill Loder. You can book a guided trip with Bill through All About the Fly.

Yakima River - February 27th, 2005
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC
RECORDED: 
40 °
FISHING: Great

Despite the cold temps, the Yakima has been fishing great lately. Just adjust your tempo to the slower pace of a winter fish. Dead drifted nymphs and slowly fished streamers are most effective when the water is cooler. Another proven tactic is to think small with nymphs at this time of the year, although Skwala Stones will become active as soon as temperatures rise.
NYMPHS: Vinyl Lightning #18, WD40 #18, Pheasant Tail #18…
STREAMERS: Olive Beldar, Baby Dads, and Sculpin
DRIES: Parachute B.W.O. #18, Adams Parachute #18
