Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 6/24/09

We spent the day down in the canyon between Ringer and Umptanum. The wind was bad, but we got into some nice fish. Nothing big up to the dries today, but one 18″+ on nymphs and another that gave us some big head shakes and headed to the other side of the river. After it took 20′ of backing the hook popped. A lot of the fish we hooked came after setting up on prime water and making multiple passes through. Flies: #12-8 Golden Stone dry, #16 CDC PMD, #12-16 Flashback Hare’s Ear, #14 Soft Hackle Hares Ear, #2-10 Pat’s Stonefly (Tan, Brown, Rust), #14 Bloodi Mary
