YAKIMA!!
Thank you very much for your post, I reflect the very same feelings about "our" river, although I have only 15 years of experiance upon her. Agreed that Wilson needs to be cleaned up even more,and also that the fish arent easy.. they are earned. If you can catch fish on the Yak, then you will have no problem reading the waters of more famous rivers. Learn the water friends.. look for the hatches.. understand where a trout will yearn to lie.. work on your drag free drift.. your casting, your mending...learn to put the fly where it needs to be !! All aspects of flyfishing come into play on this river, and your skills need to be at their finest to consitantly catch fish. Off of soap box now..
