Fall Is in the Air!

September and october are my favorite months to fish the Yakima. We have a prolific crane fly hatch thats is just getting started, and will rock for the rest of september. These "giant mosquitos" will be bouncing all over the surface of the river laying eggs durring the mid day hours. We imitate them by skating and skittering our flies across the surface. The trout chase them down and crush them in broad day light!

As the fall progresses, October caddis will fill in the evening hours into true dark. October caddis are our largest caddis on the yakima. their nocternal hatch instigates agressive feeding on the surface right before dark. Daytime stratigies focus on the pupa stage, as the caddis transition from the safety of there casing to becoming a flying adult.

Klickitat River Steelhead

The Klickita river drains the east slope of Mt Adams providing us with some premier fall steelhead fishing. These powerfull anadromous rainbow trout are fresh from the ocean. With above average returns, we anticipate a great season! The weather on the klickitat tends to be much dryer than the west side of the state. this is your last chance for sunshine and jumbo sea run trout before the winter rains settle in.

We are happy to focus on swinging flies with a spey rod, fly fishing with bobbers (Nymphing), using conventional tackle, or mixing it up. Were just happy to spend the day with you in this truly beautiful sub arid landscape.
