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

YAKIMA RIVER REPORT - 2/28/16

Yesterday marks our first dry fly Skwala fish of the season. I am sure someone else managed to wrangle one up on a dry, prior...but this was our first.

The river is good shape now. We have been utilizing multiple tactics including;
Dry Flies
Nymphs
Streamers

Dry fly fishing from this day toward will be weather dependent.  Wind isn't such a bad condition as it will blow the Skwala's on to the water.  However, some of the best dry fly weather will be calm, steady pressure days that hit air temps of 48 or
