Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 8/27/10

David and Bill came to fish the lower canyon. The Yakima River is on the drop, the fish are moving off the banks and back into the seams, buckets, and boulders. Dry fly fishing was a little on the tough side, it was not consistent all day like it has been the past month or so. We found a 14″ fish that came up to the hopper and a 17″ rainbow that came up to an x-caddis. Nymphing was pretty consitant, but we didn’t hook anything huge under an indicator, we lost one that was about 14″ we watched jump after it was hooked. Flies: #16 olive X-Caddis, #14 Pheasant Tail, #14-16 Copper John (copper, red), #8 purple hopper, #14 BH Prince, #12 prince without a bead head, #8 Pat’s Stone (brown)
