With
the hustle and bustle of the Christmas holiday once
again over and gone, we usher in a new fishing
season in the Yakima River Valley. A Happy New Year
to everyone! |

It’s January, our rivers slowest fishing
month of the entire year. Usually low
lying fog banks nestle in the Columbia
Basin this time of year, blanketing the
river valley in a dense layer of cold
winter haze. |
|
|
Until today we haven’t experience much of
that. Old man winter has been easy on us
here in Ellensburg with mild winter days
and plenty of that Central Washington
sunshine. As of now the fog has lifted
and the sun is shining! |
|
|
Much of the low lying hillsides were
barren of a snow pack throughout the month
of December. The past week, a couple of
winter storms moved across the valley and
finally began lying down a snow base along
the foothills and banks of the river.
|
|
|
High atop the Cascade Range is a totally
different story. Heaping piles of snow
pack have built a deep foundation, so
water worries shouldn’t be a major concern
this year. Snow pack percentages are well
above the average as of today. |
|
|
|
The fishing on the river has been
inconsistent from day to day so far this
winter. Some days fishing has been good,
other days not so good. We contribute it
to unstable weather and temperature
conditions. |
|
|
|
Slush ice and mounting ice jams haven’t
been a problem this winter either. The
river is open and free of ice expect along
the edges of course. The majority of
our winter trips have been postponed due
to Snoqualmie Pass afternoon avalanche
control closures. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The die hard fly fanatics have been hard
at it during the day. For the most
part, tippets rigged with smaller
Skwalla Stonefly nymphs and an
assortment of enticing trailer flies has
been the mainstay. Working streamers in
the deep slow moving waters with a short
sink tip during the warm portions of the
afternoon has also been part of the
daily events. |
|
|
|
The river is producing a mass amount of
Skwalla Stoneflies this year. They have
been collecting along the banks since
late November. If spring conditions
cooperate this year, we should have some
very good adult Skwalla fishing.

Steve,
Just to let you know,
Danny and I had a nice day out on the Yak on Monday. While
fishing was a little slow, I did manage to get a few fish to the
boat and a few more hooked up but lost. We actually had no wind
at all until around 2 o’clock, which really made it nice.
I will be doing this
again in January.
Hope you and the rest
of the staff have a great Christmas and New Years holiday.
See you next month,
Larry Gibbs

Danny
Thank you again
for the great trips this year and having the patience to
work out all those wind knots that we seem to be so good
at tying.
We will look
forward to our next trip!
