Wading
|
|
Wading the Yakima can be easy and difficult at times, depending
on the water flows and where you plan on accessing the river.
Hopefully this chart on average river flows will help you understand
the most practical times for foot access on the river. Easy wading access 500 Cfs to 1,500 Cfs The above graph is fairly ambiguous in that a strong wader can work up a particular bank when the river is flowing at 4000 cfs; What the above graph does is describe a generalization! There are certain stretches of river that lend themselves to better wading by the nature of their design. For instance the upper flatlands and the farmlands provide easier wading as an overall rule just because of size of the rocks evident in the terrain. The river rock in these areas tend to be smaller and uniform and easier to walk on. Also the river braids and channels therefore promoting smaller side channels that are more easily waded. In comparison the upper and lower canyon rocks tend to be larger and less uniform. The river doesn't offer as much in the way of smaller channels and is generally one big river.
