I don't know how long you have been trying your luck on the Yakima River, but just for info, I believe the river is in a slight downswing right now. I believe the numbers of fish and the size of the fish is down from just two years ago.

Up to last year, the fishing has been really good on the Yak. Lots of fish and many of them were 19 to 20 inches in size. My personal best on the Yakima River is a 22 inch Rainbow.

But, last winter and early spring, the river went through a series of floods that really changed the shape of the bottom of the river and I believe took out a lot of fish.

I have high hopes that the fish will recover really soon and fishing will be get back to where it should be within a year. Meanwhile, keep going out and fishing this beautiful river.

If you want to do a drift on the river someday, send me a PM and we will see if we can hook up and do a drift with The Worley Bugger.
