We have had a slew of fluctuations already this year following the flood event late last year. With this, fishing has been average to stellar. It's winter fishing on the Yakima River—trout settled into slower seamlines, conserving energy, and setting up where calories come easy. With the above average flow and water temps, don't hesitate to check the spring type water if the winter water isn't producing.
The best and most current fishing report on the Yakima River is here at Red's Fly Shop. Explore the best flies, river flows, and advice on how to have the best fishing experience possible on the Yakima River.
When looking for where trout live and hold, we often look for spots that provide cover and can hide a fish. We don't think about the broken surface water of a riffle. A riffle provides cover as well as other elements that create spots for fish to hold and feed... bugs and oxygen.
