Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 7/7/08

Fishing was good today. A few fish were rising for mayflies around 1:00 but nothing consistent. We landed a couple of fish between 1:00 and 2:00 on a PMX in Royal or Orange. Nymphs that were produced for us were the Copper John, Prince, Psycho Prince, and PT. We nymphed until 5:00 then started tossing dries. The best period was between 6:30 and 7:30. There were a lot of fish looking up. Jim was able to capitalize on an 18″ rainbow with a #10 Stimulator. An olive X-caddis was also working well during the late afternoon hatch. Most the fish were in the 10-12″ range with Jim’s Hog being the exception. We hooked another big fish on top, but he spit the hook. Overall good fishing.
