Thank you Sam. I will check them out.If you're fishing in the Canyon below Ellensburg, look for turn outs. Plenty of them.
Good advice. That all sounds like the way to go.There's an absolutely killer spot right..... there! No - a bit more to the south. Yes... right there. Please don't share this info with anyone!
In all seriousness, the canyon has the most extensive and easily accessed banks. Just go out and try some place that looks good. You'll learn a lot more from field-testing your assumptions about what is and isn't fishy - especially since this often changes over time of day and season; high water and low. The pullouts along the roadway will give you some clues about what others consider good access spots.
Thank you.Grass, rocks and sometimes logs provide the best places to stand while fly fishing the Yakima river from the banks in my experience.
I fish the "D" in Oregon and have the snake concept down. Thank you.I am not trying to discourage you, but be aware that the snakes are probably out on warmer days. When you climb in out of the water just watch where you put your hands and feet. Again not trying to discourage you just be aware. I hate snakes and shore fish the Yakima it's not too bad...
Not like a certain lake in E WA!
That's good advice. Heading over there today. Thank you.When I was figuring out the Yakima, I would record the flow levels at the Umtanum gauging station each time I went. This becomes a great predictor for where you can access the river safely and effectively and save some drives over the pass when the river isn't in condition.
Best of luck! I wonder how the recent snowfall affected the riverThat's good advice. Heading over there today. Thank you.
You can take that advice to the bank.Grass, rocks and sometimes logs provide the best places to stand while fly fishing the Yakima river from the banks in my experience.
It was so cold there was no snow melt. The level was good.Best of luck! I wonder how the recent snowfall affected the river
