I decided to take a break from the less then stellar coho beach fishing to chase some trout.
I hit the Yakima yesterday. Nice weather except for the gusty winds. The flip flop is over and the water is in great shape with fish looking up. I managed over a dozen fish to hand. Best producers were orange stimulators, foam poly wing october caddis, beatles and red copper john droppers. Lots of october caddis and summer stone schucks on the rocks. Nice day on the water other then taking a header down a hill and breaking my net. I only saw four other anglers. A few pics from yesterday.







I hit the Cowlitz today for searun cutts. I ended up bringing eight to hand and losing a few other. Only got two fish on a foam poly wing october caddis. The rest came on copper john or lighting bug dropper. I saw a few mayflies and smaller caddis hatching, but not many fish rising. Lots of other stuff crawling around.
When I left, there were only two rigs with trailer in the parking lot.
I sure wish we had September and October weather and fishing year round.
Sorry for the picture quality due to a dirty lens.
