Fishing has been tough. The upper river above the Teanaway is still in shape, but the water temps are in the mid to low 40’s. We hooked 6 landed 4, all big though, between 16″ and 20″. We saw one fish rise and tossed the skwalla mayfly dropper, but no takers. The ticket was #8-12 brown pat’s stones, the pink worm, and the zebra midge.
The ice is still flowing down the Yakima, but warmer weather is in the forcast. All we can do is hope right now.
Fishing has been good. We are getting ready for winter fishing, but it is not here yet. There are still some mayfly and caddis activity on the surface throughout the day, but nymphing has been the most productive. Stone flies, #4 – #8, have been catching fish and small mayfly nymphs as well. #16 – #20 nymphs – prince, copper john, PT, and BWO’s.
