Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 5/24/10

Went into the Farmlands for an afternoon half-day float. Fishing was good. We found fish in the heavy water behind boulders and on the inside seams but still in fairly swift current. Copper Johns tied on a scud hook were working good. We found some cutthrouts and rainbows, 8 fish landed, 5 were around 10″ and 3 were between 14″ and 16″. Flies: #14-16 Copper John (Red, Black,Copper, Green), #14-16 soft hackle Prince Nymph, #12-14 BH Prince, #6-10 Pat’s Stone, #14 cdc Pheasant Tail, #14 Peacock Soft Hackle, #14 PMD, #16 FB Pheasant Tail
