Yakima River Fly Fishing - 4/24/08

I ran over to the Yakima to catch some March Brown Mayfly action before the river blew up with the upcoming heat of the weekend. I didn't have anyone to fish with on Thursday the 24th so I moved slow all morning and didn't make it to the put in until 12:30. I rushed to get the boat in the water knowing that the hatch couldn't be far off. I push hard on the oars to make the first good riffle while keeping my eyes open for little brown sailboats in the riffles. After pulling in and rigging a dry fly setup I went about rigging the rest of the days rods. While doing so I looked up to see the March Brown hatch starting strong. I dove for my rod and ran up river. Not more that 5 casts later I was moving fish and within the hour I had landed 3 and missed countless more. After the hatch finished off the fishing went dead so I pushed on for the take out. A great day on the Yakima again.
