Title: Trout fish Near Yakima
Post by: jkononen on May 30, 2014, 11:08:59 AM: Looking for a nice place to sit and enjoy the sun near Yakima. Fish for some trout while were at it. Don't know the area that well but will be over there this weekend with the fiance. Within an hour from Yakima/Selah is fine. Would Love some good scenery also. Thanks for any replies.

Or, if anybody has any better ideas to enjoy the weather and do something outside/outdoor related this weekend over there let me know.

Thanks,

-Joseph

Throw some jigs for them though, one of the old timers told me he catches some nice sized trout throwing crappie jigs in the river, or if you flyfish you could do that too in some spots. There are a ton of ponds from Yakima to around Exit 52 to fish from. Myron Pond in Yakima holds some nice sized trout but it's selective gear only. People have been catching trout from Rotary Lake too, I haven't been there in two or three weeks though, I primarily go there for crappie. Then there's the I-82 ponds, I mostly fish ponds 4,5, and 7 for panfish so I'm not really sure about the others and how they do for trout on them.

Didn't stay long. So then we just drove around looking at the area. Seen some elk, and some mushroom pickers. Stopped at some ponds Down right off of Hwy 12, few people fishing. Didn't stay long there either because a couple crackheads came down in a van a decided to walk their kick-me dogs. One came over about 5 feet from me and decided to take a Sh*t. That pissed me off so we left. Was a good day though. Thanks for all who responded.
