any reports on the yak

I'm guessin' the fish have all turned into rainbow troutsicles. It's been pretty cold over here on the eastside.

Yeah, going into to work, it has been below 0 for at least 5 straight days.

 

[Out of Here]

Fish somewhere else.

Hmmm, that open water line looks awfully enviting for nymphing.

Hmmm, that open water line looks awfully enviting for nymphing.

Except that it's only 6 inches deep right there.

Ha, that's funny. I love fishing the Yak in the winter, snow and all, but that's a bit too extreme. Not crowded though.

Great photo. Let's see if the campground makes it through the year without another massive ice flow makeover.

 

[Don Davis]

Looks like you could have the whole river to yourself!

Drove to Yakima through the canyon yesterday. It's all iced up, not much area to throw a fly. I did see 3 large Big Horn Rams right next to the road just past Big Horn, 8 bald eagles, a herd of mule deer. I enjoy driving the canyon in winter, you see lots of wild life.

Check your rules pamphlet. They changed the season below Roza Dam. White fish only this time of year.

I snapped a few pictures yesterday when driving through the canyon (links below). I had my fly rod in the truck in hopes of hitting a whitefish hole or two on the way back from a meeting, but conditions didn't provide. The whitefishing below Roza will be good as soon as we get some more open water. It's supposed to warm up a hair. I've got my fingers crossed!
