Yakima River Fishing Report:
04/05/2025

From the floating desk of Kyle Branch and co. Fishing is good! And the river is clear and is cautiously wadeable above the teanaway. Water was 45 degrees in the shallows this afternoon. Dry fly, nymphs, and streamers were used and the usual spring suspects skwalas, March browns, and scuplzillas produced! Lots of bug activity after 1:30pm. Ambush zones at the beginning of runs seem to be the most active along with drop-offs, ledges, logs...with less success in tail outs. Don’t forget to pinch your barbs! I caught a fish with a pat stone in its lip, barb still intact!
