If you are walk-in fishing I would suggest parking at the Umtanum foot bridge (parking/camping) area and walking down the westside of the river... this works out pretty good because you can walk the trail tracks... If you are fishing drys then I would suggest October Caddis (burnt orange body deer hair caddis) size 14 If you want to fish a drop nymph... I would use a black stimulator on the surface as a stike indicator (we got fish on the surface with it as well) and a olive bead head (or weighted) hairs ear or pheasant tail --- the olive flys seemed to produce better... I would look for slow water next to faster ripples... Good luck and tight lines...! Also, I would suggest you fish it earlier in the day because the winds start blowing in pretty had later in the day... _________________________ ---------------------- "Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Thoreau South King County - PSA Save Our Fish - PSA CCA Sea-Tac
