Re: I need a question answered please...

I believe its McNary dam to 395 bridge, then 395 bridge to wooden powerlines is all you need to worry about

Newbie

This is my first year fly fishing, and living in the tri cities, when is a good time to start fishing the rivers, lakes, or ponds? Ive heard the yakima can be good for bass, but what about steelhead around here? Plus when are prime times?

Winter Sturgeon

I fished McNary for keepers this last Saturday and didn't do any good (saw one caught, heard of another caught) and I was wondering if anyone has some tricks up there sleeve to help me out! Perhaps some areas to fish around the mouth of the snake or the mouth of the yakima?

RE:Naches river?

Rooster tails (take off 2 of the hooks and pinch the barbs), fished up there all my life and thats always worked. Put a couple split shot a couple feet above the lure and have a blast! Bright obnoxious colors have worked really well.

Pond 4 is killer for perch if you jig a 1/16 ounce jighead with 1/4 of a crawler on it
