The Yak hates me. So my advice is questionable. I like the Cle Elum stretch best, followed by Ellensburg, followed by the lower canyon. If I hook one fish that's a great day! The Thorp section seems barren to me, but others report good results there. I've gone floating and wading with a guide (...

A close second. Difficult to tie, easy to lose... but effective.

Wiggler. Floating line, yup! Sinking line, even better!

Richard: Blobs and Boobies are all the rage now. Get with the times!...although an old school black woolly worm with a red tag always produces.

I spontaneously tied up a bunch of these myself

This one was my best SRC landed this year. Lost a much larger fish after a jumpy short battle barbless hook, sigh. Recent rain has my favorite SRC run unfishable .... fly = lightning strike muddler

I've been looking for a good bluegill lake. I would love to know where your blue ribbon lake is. Maybe a group of determined anglers could go thin the population..

The only snohomish coho i ever hooked took a Good n' Plenty spider fly. Pink with black hackle about a size 8

Woo hoo! Love the look of that one

Those are all business!

Super cool...Seen it in person driving back and forth to baseball tournaments this summer.

I've run into the same problem and I am a designer, so this is my solution: I got frustrated with split shot and twist-on lead strips. They move and fall off too much. This solution creates a cast-able bump rig. It rolls along the rocks and resists catching on bottom stuff. Unweighted or...

I like spider type flies for swinging and stimulator type october caddis dry flies skipped across current.

Westside lakes are full of surprises!

I've done well with the sloooow strip Olive/Orange Crayfish, the Wiggler ( above and below) and now testing the floating "smacker" on a sinking line...dives on the retrieve floats up on the pause... Experiment!

Tied up some Smackers. I like these a lot lately. Seem to annoy aggressive trout with the wobbly action. Fish deep, strip...they sink...dead drift they rise...in the current they wobble

OK, I'm signed up.... I'm here representing the old school. Son of Ted Niemeyer, schooled by Eric Leiser, Tom Darling, and many other friend's of my Dad. I was doing tying demos at east coast fly fishing shows when I was 11yo. I fish for trout, bass, salmon, hawaiian bonefish and I'm still...
