Spring Fishing is here!

Anglers!  The skwallas are popping, the fish are smashing, and there are only a handful of dates left! 

We are seeing 15 plus fish smack dries in the latter part of the day and it’s only getting better. We have skwallas, bwos, and March Browns coming soon!  The flows are about to come up a little which is only going to make trout more hungry!  Here we go! 

I have the following dates left open amd I’d love to have a completely full Spring.

March: 25th and 26th
April: 1st-2nd, 4th, and 18th.

I leave for my summer program in Michigan on May 11th. My bass dates for May are full.

I have dates open for September and October with about 38 days still available.

The season is booking up fast!  Reserve your 2024 Yakima River Trips before it’s too late!

Had a reschedule for Friday the 15th.

The fishing has started off nicely for the spring. Skwallas are just getting started. This next week is when they will pop and should last through the first week of April.

We’ve had some decent fishing, and of course, the guides’ day off yesterday was slow, but trips and the lower canyon section of the river is producing! 

I always end up moving things around in the spring, which opens up some dates. I have the 17th thru the 20th now open, and that will be during peak skwallas. Grab a day or maybe just a half day to hit the hatch and let’s go chase some trout.

I’m only here until May 10th then I’m gone until Septermber. Get on the Yakima this spring with me before it’s too late!

Share this with friends you are trying to get into fishing! 

The mountains are shrouded.  Their folds and peaks covered by wispy soft clouds hung heavy with the passing rain. The sun pokes through the deep blue, illuminating the emerald green river that flows its familiar path through the canyon.

I drove highway 10 this afternoon.  I haven’t set eyes on the Yakima since October. I missed it.

I have made a trade of water.  The tannin leaf filled rivers of Michigan, slow and shallow, sandy and filled with logs, twigs, and sticks…teeming with fish waiting for winter to break.

For the wide, deep, and fast rolling rivers of the west.  The familiar Yakima River, every inch known, fish named, riffle, run, pocket, shelf as if it were my own home. The feel of the river under the boat, and the steady beating of oars against the fast and predictable current.

I missed parts of this place. The change in scenery since October has been vast. The Yakima is but an ever so small piece of the world of fishing and the world in general. Travel reminds me of the comfort of this place but also how much I long for different. 

Now I get to travel between the two.  Trading the waters of one place for another, enjoying each and rediscovering a passion for the old, and exploring, fulfilling passions with the new.

I am happy to be back.  I am excited to embrace the river after a long offseason away.  To share in experiences the river blesses us with.  To tickle a trout, create a smile, shake a hand, and release a fish.  A trade of water.
