Greg invited me to head out to the Yakima river with him this weekend. I hadn't touched my fly rod for several months and jumped at the chance to get some fishing in. At 6:30 am Greg drove up in his pickup truck and picked me up, we loaded our gear up and drove 2.5 hours over Snoqualmie pass to Ellensburg. In the morning the water from the fly line was freezing in our guides, make it difficult to cast. The cold weather didn't seem to have any effect on the fight and vigor of the fish. Here Im pulling out my biggest fsh yet close to 18 inches.
