Some would say that the Fall fishing on the Yakima is the best of the best. This time of year allows the angler to use a variety of techniques successfully. Nymphing can be automatic, casting little dry flies to rising fish is a highlight that happens quite often, dead drifting and skating large October Caddis can produce vicious strikes and swinging/stripping streamers can almost be steelhead like!

Fall has started here in the valley! The colors are slowly evolving and the wildlife is abundant. The river is at low volume allowing the angler to fish by foot at endless locations as opposed to a limited few.

Somewhere around the end of October, a majority of the anglers stop fishing the Yakima. Unfortunately they miss out on some of the most intense fishing of the Fall as November and December can be remarkable!
