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

YAKIMA RIVER UPDATE - MARCH 5, 2016

Reasonable fishing on the Yakima recently.  Some adult Skwala action, some nymphing with Skwala nymphs and San Juan worms.  Very light BWO action and a bit of Streamer fishing here and there.

A little on Shallow Water Nymphing


Blue Wing Olives  are Mayfly Swimmers and they originate/live in slower and a bit deeper boulder strewn runs.


March Browns are Mayfly Clingers and they originate in riffles.  Although we haven't seen any yet, they are just around the corner!
