Where to fish the Yakima?
« on: May 24, 2012, 09:52:23 AM »
Or, where NOT to fish the Yakima might be the better question.  We'll be in town for the State 2A Baseball championships but I think I'll have time to dip a line in the water. Staying at the Sun Tides Golf Course. I don't golf.  I haven't even looked at the regs yet, but I imagine some of those springers are upstream by now.  I'm a spin caster but I'll be taking a light fly rod to practice with too. 

Ideas?

Below Roza Dam in the Canyon.  Park at the Dam and walk downstream.

I actually did make it up there to check it out on the Saturday late morning, then we had the Baseball series so my plans were to actually fish it Sunday morning before leaving for western Okanogon. But talking to the guys fishing, and the stories of the gamie's writing tickets if they see you walk across the tracks, -Uh duh... how do you get to the other side to fish?  It wasn't a place I really wanted to fish. After the big game the team and parents had a big dinner at a hotel -I stayed up way to late to be fishin that next morning then drive/towing.... So I bagged it. But on our way north a great treat in that river canyon were 63 Bighorns feeding. 14 kids in the group. The wife and I watched them for quite a while.

So then... we stayed at one of my favorite camp sites near a lake and Monday morning I practiced catch and release with the fly rod and the spin caster for Brookies and Cutts until I lost count.  It was a relaxing trip.
