Yakima river Has the same flow as the middle fork of the SaLmon (hears a couple Ls for the other salmons--LL) The Salmon changes almost daily, how wide is the Yakima river ? Makes a big difference in the flow. I guess I need to get a map and see where it is.
I did a three day and a 5 day on the salmon and it was great.
Im not much of a fly fisherman, A hand grenade tied to the rod maybe. I'll bring my own bait.

Post Yakima

Width of Yakima? Depends 50 yds to probaby 150 yds in some places. Its a quality fishing water. Artificial lures, single barbless hooks, catch and release. Its a fun easy float, usely catch lots of fish.

"catch and release" what about catch and eat. I guess Im not relaxed enough for floatting along and relaseing my supper. Im more of a Going through some class 4 rapids while dodgeing some big rocks and your pants on fire, kinda guy.

Post The Yakima River Flows

The Yakima River flows right past Ellensburg. All the older men in our church remember when the Yakima was a source of food for their families during the depression. They don't comprehend this "catch and release" thing. They believe they should be "grand-fathered" in allowed to catch a limit and eat those fish. I don't care for trout but I enjoy catching them. When I go for eating fish I'd rather go to Columbia River or the Potholes Reservoir and catch walleye, perch, crappie, bass, etc. To me they are a better eating fish. Or head over to the coast for ling cod, halibut, or salmon. But I find fly fishing very relaxing and floating the Yakima an escape back into nature. Deer, Big Horn Sheep, Bald Eagles, 2.5 rapids, and fly fishing just make for a great day.

These guys who act as guides and own their own boats charge $200 a person for a guided float down the Yakima. They are usually booked pretty solid from April through October.

Fly fishing is the "New" yuppy in thing. Sure brings lots of money into Ellensburg.

Thumbs up WELL, BOYS

I'll be arriving at Griz's place sometime Sat, the 31st. Kath is going to dump me and head for Spokane. The Thur. fishing works best for me, because we're going to head back south on Fri., so I want my fish as fresh as possible when I get home. Notice what an optimist I am .

As far as a campground, I've already got my name down for a couch, some floor, the front seat of the pick-up, or whatever at Griz's Bed and Breakfast .

RON: I think the rafting trip kinda' fizzled due to logistics, travel time, etc.. Many of us are driving up. Could be wrong. I don't care one way or the other. I have lots of friends and "family" in E. WA/N. ID. Kath is going to be over there anyway. Just let me know, so I know what clothes to bring [Wet Side/Dry Side] .

KEITH: Catch and Release- Could never grasp the concept. If you can't eat 'em, why bother .
