Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 6/9/10

We floated up near Cle Elum, above the Teanaway. Below there was off color, but it looks to be on the drop again. We decided to start the day throwing some big Green Drakes (dries) and we got a few fish up to them. One of them was 21″ taped and it was fat. The Green Drakes were coming off around 3:00. PMD’s and Yellow Sallies were hatching on and off throughout the day. There are a lot of stoneflies in the river right now, and they are moving around. Nymphing stoneflies and PMD mayflies is a good idea when fish aren’t rising. Flies: #10 Parachute Adams, # 10 Extended Body Green Drake, #10 Olive Stimulator, #10 Olive PMX, #14-16 Extended Body PMD, #6-10 Pat’s Stone (brown, black and brown), #6-10 Golden Stonefly, #14 Hare’s Ear, #12-16 Copper John (Black, Red, Copper)
