Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 6/8/10

We hiked in off of Bullfrog Road on the upper Yakima River for the afternoon. Dry flies were good in the afternoon and nymphing produced fish as well. When you know there is a fish sitting in a deep pocket by a log and you can’t get him up to the dries, you may have to go after the fish with nymphs. There were a lot of Green Drakes hatching starting around 2:30 and PMDs were hatching consitently from 1:00-4:00. We did see a couple adult Golden Stoneflies. Flies: #10 Extended Body Green Drake, #10 Olive PMX, #14-16 Extended Body PMD, #6-10 Pat’s Stone (brown, black and brown), #6-10 Golden Stonefly, #12-16 Copper John (Black, Red, Copper)
