Brown Trout
While Yakima isn't primarily known for its trout fishing, you can find some decent brown trout action in the Yakima River and its tributaries. The upper reaches of the Yakima, particularly above the town of Cle Elum, hold a population of wild browns that can provide some challenging and rewarding fishing. Fall is a particularly good time to target these fish, as they become more active in preparation for spawning. Streamers and nymphs are effective methods, and don't be afraid to experiment with different patterns and sizes. Access to the river is generally good, with several access points along Highway 903. Be aware that the river can be subject to fluctuating flows, so check water levels before heading out. The brown trout here are typically wild and can be quite wary, so stealth and a careful presentation are key to success. Consider hiring a local guide for the upper river, as they know the best spots and techniques.
