Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 9/10/08

We floated south to state again today, this time with Ryan and Rich. They were getting there casts in the zone and had constant action on dries throughout the day. We were somewhat rushed with low water levels and a half-day float, but we were able to land one nice 13″ cuttie and a lot of smaller bows. We lost some huge fish right before dark. The fish are still keying in on big hairy bugs with rubber legs. I have ben going with a #10 brown stone fly patern as my fly of choice, I’ve found if the fly is too big you don’t get as many looks. #10’s have been the ticket on the upper river. Were have been running nymph or dry droppers to start off the day, but end up with a single big bug because that is what they are keying on.
