Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 6/18/09

We were in the upper canyon today. There were quite a few golden stoneflies coming off, along with some salmon flies. The back channels treated us good today. We were fishing a dry dropper rig most of the day, with the dropper 2.5 to 3.5 feet from the dry. We got some big fish to come up to the dry today and many on the dropper. Be sure to get your flies where the two current seams come together. Flies: #12-8 foam golden stone, #12-16 Prince, #14-16 Copper John, #12-16 Flashback Hare’s Ear, #14 Halo Prince, #2-10 Pat’s Stonefly (Tan, Brown, Rust), #14 Bloodi Mary, #12-16 Caddis Puppa
