Brown Trout
If you're in Kittitas and seeking brown trout, the Yakima River is your primary destination. The Yakima, a renowned fly-fishing river, holds a healthy population of wild and holdover brown trout. The upper stretches of the Yakima, closer to the headwaters, are particularly productive. Spring (April-June) and fall (September-November) are excellent times to target browns, coinciding with insect hatches and pre-spawn feeding frenzies. Wading is a popular method, but drift boats are also common. Be prepared for varying water conditions, as flows can fluctuate depending on irrigation demands. A local tip: Focus on nymphing with stonefly or mayfly imitations in the riffles and runs. Also, don't overlook streamer fishing, especially in the deeper pools. Brown trout in the Yakima are known for their selective feeding habits and can be challenging to catch, but the reward is well worth the effort. Sizes typically range from 12-18 inches, with the occasional larger fish exceeding 20 inches.
