Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 7/1/08

The Yakima jumped up to over 5,000 CFS to start the summer flows. The visibility is low at the moment, but the river should be fishable within the next few days. So, we have been heading over to Rocky Ford, which has been producing. Randy, from MA, landed 5 yesterday and hooked 8 total, all between 19″-24″. We have been seeing hoppers around. It is about time to start tossing summer stones and terrestrials once the riiver clears up. If you are planning on fishing in the next few days, I recommend San Jaun Worms, Flashback PT’s #14-16, Red Copper John’s #14-16, and Stone Flies #6-10 black and brown.
