The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Thursday, June 25th, 2009
Posted by Jeff Mayor @ 09:43:51 pm

I had the chance to fish for a little bit while east of the mountains -- so I hit the Yakima River in Cle Elum.

Even with flows are 2,400 cfs, the river seemed high and there wasn't much slack water for fish to hold in.

I did find one spot and had a couple trout bump my fly, but I couldn't hook them.

I talked to a couple of guides who were taking their craft out at the west end of town and they said the fishing was a little slower than it has been in recent days.

Certainly not an in-depth day of on-the-water research, but I thought I would pass along my observations.
