Hi fellas,

Kim and I had a great time on our return visit to the Yak this last weekend. Unlike the last time I was there in early March all of the fish were caught on dry flies. Nice not to have to cast those dropper/indicator rigs.

There were good Skwala and BWO hatches happening and great times were to be had. As a wise man recently said I do not feel like writing (too many reports going on at work right now- plenty of writing there) so the pics will have to do. Enjoy.

A size 8-10 Skwala, soup de jour for the trip

Umptanum creek trail- A nice hike for those so inclined

Nice westslope good job Kim!

Deadly Skwala imitation framed by a nice little westslope

Spent BWO's drifting in a backeddy after a huge afternoon hatch

Very nice bow, the scowl is due to the 30mph wind howling down the valley at the time (it was meant to be a smile)

Kim casting in tight quarters surrounded by nice red dogwoods.

Surprise! Another westslope I though there were only supposed to be a few in here........

Thats it hope you enjoy the pics , I am glad to have had some great dry fly action under my belt this early in the year! What a treat.

Very nice...Another great report. Looks like heaven down there. Willing Trout, bugs, and no people. It can't get much better than that.

Great pictures!............I often wonder how many people drive past such places/or walk and never realize the potential of fishing in such areas...Choosing the "correct" fly and matching what is floating in the creek/river also helps.....Well done, my friend!.....Ortho 8)

Thanks for the Ea. Wa blast to the past again. I had a nasty wipe out on my motorcycle just up a little ways from where you took that pic on the Umptanum creek trail.
