Yakima river has it's head waters in Benton county.

I know finding some of the rivers are tough because they run through several counties. I believe Aaron uses the USGS methodology of listing the river in the county of origin.

I recently found this out after inquiring about the section of the Snoqualmie River in King County. Although I understand why it's done this way, I can't say I'm fond of it. In previous years I'd incorrectly listed fishing one of the forks of the Snoqualmie in King County because I didn't know that you had to choose Snohomish County to select the Snoqualmie River main, so I just chose what was the closest fit.

Did they move Lake Keetchelus to Benton Co? Head waters of the Yak is the Lake and last time I checked it was in Kittitas.
Benton Co would be where the confluence of the Yak and Columbia is.

All I know is what am told. The river counties are determined by USGS information.

OK.......

Interesting! Maybe that is why there are only 46 reports for this river. That or it really does not get fish'd much!!!!???
