Keven Samuelson of The Evening Hatch Guide Service took Mike Carey and I for a day trip down the Yakima. The weather was somewhat miserable, but the fishing was fine! We caught fish off and on all day using a variety of floating flies. Towards the end of the day I caught this monster 23" trout. This thing had shoulders! We had a great time and learned a TON about the river.

Drift boat. It was a nice slow drift.. not exactly sure where we put in, it was somewhere a few miles south of Ellensburg and we drifted for about 8-9 miles. Towards the end of the day it got so windy our guide was rowing us downstream!

Those are a lot bigger than when I used to fish the Yak 28 years ago before catch and release.

nice fish, I did most of the surveying on suncadia resort in cle ellum for 2 years and would fish the cle ellum river up on the property daily at lunch, would drill 2 to 3 just about every day, snow or sun, the bigger the sculpin I would use it seemed like the bigger the fish I would stick, those fish in that system can be real meat eaters, and that was consistent throughout the year, C&R'd every one. The more you let go the more you catch, must be a fish god thing
