HOME - WASHINGTON FLY FISHING GUIDES FOR STEELHEAD & TROUT - THE YAKIMA/NACHES, KLICKITAT, UPPER COLUMBIA/KETTLE & OLYMPIC PENINSULA

YAKIMA RIVER REPORT - 8/30/15

The Flip Flop is in full motion currently.  The Yakima river will decrease in flows daily, from now until the 'Flip Flop' process is over, which should be somewhere around the 15th of September.  This process certainly has a 'relocation' factor for the fish as the difference in flows can be dramatic.  Fishing the bank will generally not  be the mode of operandi.  Some banks will be productive, but also look for mid river drop offs and predominant seem lines.

Highlights for the next 60 days include

Up river salmon spawn
October Caddis,
Mahogany Duns
Fall Cahill
Fall Baetis

Classic Yakima Trout
