KLICKITAT RIVER REPORT - 10/12/14

The river is lower than normal for this time of year. Currently the flows at Pitt are 668 - usually at 725. While that doesn't seem like a big difference, it is noticeable on a high gradient river.  It appears that there are not near the amount of salmon as predicted.  The pressure, although heavy, has lightened a bit recently.  The overall weather has been awesome with warmer than normal air temps. 

The swing and nymph have both been producing. Recently have seen a few magical afternoons with the swung fly.  Below are a few pictures of Rick on his second trip with the two hander.  

Honorable mentions lately;

Purple Super Muddler
The Vision Cult 7134
Rage Compact 450
10 feet of T-8
