Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 7/3/08

The river dropped back into shape. Fish have been keying in to the caddis hatches in the evening. PMDs are still hatching around mid-day. A good combo to throw when the hatch is not happening is a big stonefly dry with a #14-16 Flashback PT trailing it 2.5 feet. For nymphs; pat’s stones, hare’s ear, FB PTs, copper johns, and prince nymphs have been working. For surface activity, PMDs in white or light yellow, stoneflies, and stimulators would be the best bet during the day. X-caddis and other caddis variations tossed in the foam lines and seams are the ticket in the evening.
