Hit the Yak today. Things started out kind of slow, likely due to the 31 degree temp registering on my trucks dash display. The day ended up perfect, with the temps in the high 50's, sunny and no wind.
Saw a few different hatches today...October Caddis, smaller tan caddis, mahogany duns, light cahills and a few BWO's. Ended up with a dozen or so fish to hand. Most the fish were in the 10-12" range, with a few bigger.
Got fish on orange stimulators, EH caddis, various colors of sparkle duns, lightning bug, copper john and the trusty beatle.
Who first ever said they don't make enough Octobers nailed it. A few pics from today.

It was a perfect fall day today. Nice fish pics and report Stonefish. Sorry about all the pressure out there... (sarcasm) looks like you had the place to yourself!

Ryley, You are correct, I did have the place to myself. I think everyone was either deer hunting or talking on the radio.... Nice work by you and Todd by the way. I listened to the show on the way over the hill.

Great report, SF. We were on the Eastside as well, this weekend. Dead calm, mid 30's and mid 60's....perfect. 70's predicted for this week.

Rick, Yes, you can fish the Yak through the winter. You'll find the BWO hatch fading as the month of November progresses and temps drop. During the winter (Dec, Jan & Feb) midges will be the main hatch and only for a short period each day. You can also nymph as well as dredging up some fish on streamers. If the trout aren't playing, the whitefish will be all over the nymphs.
