Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 10/1/08

Ryan and I went up river for a little Research and Development today. We were able to boat a 21″ bow that rolled and chased our crane fly down-stream before coming up and sipping it. We tryed fishing in differnt types of water to see where the fish are holding and feeding. Todays research found that back eddies, undercut banks, troughs on the outside bends, quicker moving boulder pockets, and the inside seams of the bends are the best places to focus on right now. So, we just reinforced what we already knew and tried out a few bugs. The flies that produced where the foam October Caddis #10-12, Royal Stimi #8-12, #16 Mayflies, and the Crane Fly #12. The big boy came out just before dark, I’d say around 5:30. Now is the time to be on the Yak tossing dries, it doesn’t get much better.
