    "Just a swinging" hit the Yak Tuesday evening. 4 hours and 6 landed all 16 to 18 inches. Skulpzilla did the trick. 11.6, 3wt, 250grain Skagit, 7ft fast sink leader.

    Yakima River

    The best way to check the hatch and bug activity. My wife just returned home (Ellensburg) from a Costco in Yakima. She always takes the Canyon Road home. She drove through around 2pm. The front of her car showed the Cadis hatch is in full swing. Time to float the river

    Getting Boned in Kihei

    Good luck Phil!! Choke Fishing has some fly fishing supplies if needed. I found sunrise until around noon to be the best time to fish. The last location I posted I found to be the the most productive
