HOME - WASHINGTON FLY FISHING GUIDES FOR STEELHEAD & TROUT - THE YAKIMA/NACHES, KLICKITAT, UPPER COLUMBIA/KETTLE & OLYMPIC PENINSULA
UPPER COLUMBIA / KETTLE REPORTS 7/11/14
Upper Columbia fishing during the day has been unpredictable and definitely not much dry fly fishing. The evenings, while not always predictable, have been pretty darn good recently with the drake hatch....sometimes shorter then we would like, but nonetheless pretty cool. In addition to the drakes we have Caddis, Yellow Mays and Baetis.
Day time nymph choices can be reasonably eclectic but generally Caddis Pupa, PMD Bubble backs and the like have done the trick when they are in the mood.
Great image below of a Drake from the Upper Columbia recently...
