Sorry about the long break. Business before fishing unfortunately. Although the business did involve a long weekend on the lower Salmon River in Idaho. The Yakima has pretty much been out of shape due to warm weather increasing the snow melt. The water is still high but has started to clear.
Visibility is good on the upper river to fair in the canyon.
Jack Mitchell of Evening Hatch Guide Service called. He reports decent fishing with improvement expected as the river goes down. Current water temperature is around 48 degrees. Jack was doing very well before the river went out, they were seeing American grams and some salmonflies and taking lots of nice fish. Since the river has come back they are seeing a lot of mayflies.
