Yakima River? Cle Elum area? Anyone been hitting the Yakima recently? October has hit and the guide services are all about the same information....That probably is good for the lower (Ellensburg area) portions...(using October Caddis, crane flies etc..). The upper portion is still seeing hoppers in the fields, very few oct Caddis and not a crane fly to be seen..Touching plenty of fish on a variety of dries, just trying to see if anyone is consistent with a particular favorite. Thanks in advance, Bo

Got a late start in September,the weather was a little to warm for me to sit in the sun, 13th,15th,17th,20th,22th,sept.I fished Mineral lake,really wanting catch one of them big browns.I did manage to catch browns,the biggest I could catch was a nice16”brown,all in all I did catch 12browns,46 rainbow,some perch and a few bass.Here is a picture of the average size of the browns 24sept,I fished Tanwax,only managed 1 small rainbow,3 perch and one bass. 27sept went to Cady,only fished for 2 to 3 hours,no fish.Packed up and went to Spencer Lake.Caught one Rainbow,(small) 29sept,I went to McCleod.7 cutthroat and 1rainbow,and what a rainbow it was,28/12”.A real good day.

Friday, 11:00 am Another year round lake near Shelton that offers a great chance to catch 1-2 lb fish. I anticipate a few members will attend this outing who bring years of experience on this lake. Thus a great opportunity to ask questions and catch fish.
