KLICKITAT RIVER REPORT - 7/27/14

Nice steel from Klickitat on 7-26

Hot weather a couple weeks ago,  then it cooled down, but rained cats and dogs; now hot weather again.....Not giving us much love.

We do have some clarity today and we did yesterday as well.  The river is cycling hard.....With the upcoming forecast of HEAT for this next week,  the cycle may be minimal with TOUGH CLARITY.

Yesterday we had 2.5-3.5 feet of clarity depending where you were in the system and at what time.  Today, we had 2-3 feet of clarity depending where you were in the system and at what time.

Yesterday we hooked some fish.  In fact, I saw one of the most impressive summer run steelhead I have ever seen on the end of our line for about a 40 second ride...Truly amazing.  Figure about 18 pounds and all muscle that was pretty much 'uncontrollable' - We did not land the beast!  We caught fish on both the swung fly and nymph yesterday.
