Landed a MASSIVE Mountain White Fish on the fly - the state record is 5.18 pounds. This fish was 20+" and FAT and DENSE. You be the judge, just look at how much effort it took Brian to lift the net! Also, be sure to watch the entire video and you will be treated to an impromptu campfire Blue Grass performance by three very talented individuals that I was fortunate enough to fly fish with - thank you again!

The Yakima River Canyon is a popular destination for plant and wildlife viewing, including bighorn sheep, various birds of prey, and mule deer. This section of the river is classified as a Blue Ribbon trout stream, but is catch and release only. One of the most popular summer activities is floating the river, which is a family friendly Class 1 river with no rapids. The gentle Yakima River winds for 27 miles through massive basalt cliffs and rolling desert hills between Ellensburg and Yakima, Washington. This area is popular for wildlife viewing, fishing, and floating the river.

Fall fly fishing can be spectacular, almost as amazing as the scenery along the way. Thank you for joining me on the float and my fly fishing adventure!
