Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 8/21/10

Yakima River-ÊProject Healing Waters First Annual West Coast 2 Fly CompetitionÊ- I had the pleasure of taking Veterans Matt and Todd down the Yakima River. We floated MM20 to Red’s. It was a five mile float with a down stream breeze. We brought four fish to the net, one was 15.5″ and another was 16.5″. The biggest came on a purple hand tied hopper. It was a fun day, meeting the veterans and getting them out on the water was great. There were many prizes, from rods and reels to gear bags to fly boxes. The food was amazing, as was the company. I look forward to helping with this event in the future. Flies: #8 purple hopper, #12 prince without a bead head
