Both rivers are blown out....Will keep you updated.

YAKIMA RIVER REPORT 11/15/17

Definitely had a bump in the river from this last weather pattern.  Everything is dropping into shape currently. The streamer fishing along with the nymphing has been game on.  The dry fly fishing has been worthy as well in isolated location and time with Blue Wing hatches.  Otherwise, the dry fly fishing is non existent.

KLICKITAT RIVER REPORT 11/15/15

Fifteen days until this awesome river closes. Recently the water has been up and down with some cancellation due to clarity  The catching has been good throughout based on the day.  The swing fishing has been good based on the day as well - we have had to go to heavier tips recently due to the colder water temps and more volume.  The nymphing continues to catch 'em.

GREAT fall fishing right now.   Fish are not quite in winter water yet.  Still spread out.  Water clarity is ....
Upper Proper - 5ft
Upper Flatlands - 7 ft
Upper Canyon - 6 ft
Farmlands - 6 to 4 ft
Lower Canyon - 3 ft

Small stones, PT's, WD40's etc wer the ticket yesterday when nymphing.  #16 Caddis are still around in the late AM, but are fading fast.  Good dry fly fishing yesterday on Blue Wing Olives in the mid to late afternoon.  Streamers swung, stripped and dead drifted can also be productive.  The white fish egg drift was a no go this week.

Beautiful bow from yesterday
