| Yakima River - March 14th, 2009 |
RECORDED: 
42 °
FISHING: Good
This Yakima river report is brought to you by the staff of Puget Sound Fly Company, with help from our customers. Please feel free to call us at (253) 839-4119 for further details or for help with pattern recommendations.
Fishing is entirely dependant on the weather right now. Warmer days and warmer times in the day are producing the most fish. Look for cloudier days with decent temperatures to really ignite the B.W.O.’s. Skwalas nymphs are already very active with a few adults poking around as well. Ringer loop access has re-opened but Bighorn will remain closed.
If things get real warm and the river dirties-up, think San Juan WormsFlies: Silvey's Olive Stone, Bullet Head Skwala, Hi-Vis BWO, Sparkle BWO, Jelly Bean Baetis, WD40', Sculpzilla.

| Yakima River - October 30th, 2008 |
RECORDED:
58 °
FISHING: Great

Flies: Hi-Vis BWO, Sparkle BWO, Jelly Bean Baetis, WD40', Sculpzilla.
It looks like this cloudier weather should improve the fishing over the next week. Sporadic BWO and Mahogany hatches will continue and seem likely to increase. Nymphing has been extremely effective in the Canyon with some decent dry fly fishing during the afternoons. If you like to cover a lot of water, throwing streamers (Sculpzilla) can produce some very large fish, particularly at this time of the year.

| South Puget Sound - October 30th, 2008 |
RECORDED: 
54 °
FISHING: Excellent
Puget Sound Fly Company is proud to offer current fishing reports for the exciting saltwater opportunities available in the South Puget Sound. These reports come from staff fishing trips, customers and friends. Please call us at (253) 839-4119 if you are new to the area or estuary fishing in general.
FISHING:
These last few weeks have produced some of the finest Cutthroat fishing in years. Piggyback the beginning of Chum season on top of that and you have some truly excellent fishing. As if that wasn’t good enough most of these spots are within and hours drive of your house.
Cutthroat technique has been fairly straightforward: Moving water, clear lines and erratic retrieves. I can’t tell you exactly where to go but think Key Peninsula and Hood Canal. If you aren’t catching Cutthroat where you are, move!
Chum are showing up at Chico, John's, Hoodsport and many other locations. Hoodsport holds fish consistently for weeks at a time. These other runs are much smaller and fish come in waves. The theme here, like with the Cutthroat: Stay mobile. Chum tend to like a rising tide, lower light and rain. I’ve had some epic fishing right at dark with a flood tide and pouring rain. Don’t let bad weather stop you from fishing!
FLIES: Purple Shock & Awe and Olive F.F. Herrin, Pink Charlies
Come by the shop or give us a call (253) 839-4119 if you have questions about any of this stuff. Check out our Beach Selection for a great sampling of flies.
RODS: 5-8 weights with 6 for Cutts, 8 for Chum.
LINES: Standard intermediate (Clear) lines are good, but the next generation of integrated shooting lines like the Rio ‘Outbound’ are ideal. We played a small part in the design of this line and our input was totally focused on the local beach fishing.

| Yakima River - September 14th, 2008 |
RECORDED:

FISHING: Good
This Yakima river report is brought to you by the staff of Puget Sound Fly Company, with help from our customers. Please feel free to call us at (253) 839-4119 for further details or for help with pattern recommendations.
Fisherman: Clark, Andrew, Keith and Kyle
Flies: Elk Hair Caddis, Pat's Rubberleg, Hoppers, Adult Stones, Vinyl Lightning, Jelly Bean Baetis, WD40's
Good fishing on a long float. The boys stuck with the dry flies and hooked a solid number of fish in the upper canyon, while the dad's went deep and nymphed a fair number of fish in some not so likely spots. Given the hot temps and Wilson creek puking a little I think the fish were a little off, but the fishing was still good and the scenery combined with the company always makes for a great day on the water.
For you streamer guys, you can still pull up a few big fish by chucking the big uglies to likely spots.

FISHING: Silvers are showing up daily, but seem reluctant to bite. This is unusual for this early in the season. When the clarity is good, Brown’s Point has fish, as well as Dash Point. Recent reports from the Straits have been very good, so hopefully those fish are heading our way. Bright flies, clear lines, early in the morning…

| Kalama River - September 4th, 2008 |
RECORDED:
72 °
FISHING: Good
The Kalama River is a beautiful little river located about 2 hours south of Puget Sound Fly Company. Steelhead are in the river almost year ‘round and strong runs of Salmon enter the river from April-November. One of the most exciting aspects of fishing the Kalama is created by the low and clear water conditions. Sight fishing is the norm. If you have any questions about the Kalama, give us a call at (253) 839-4119.
The water is low this time of year. The opportunity to raise Steelhead to the dry is quite good. For those of you more interested in catching fish any way you can, Nymphing is extremely effective. Currently there are good numbers of fish from Red Barn all the way down to I-5.
Flies: Steelhead Muddlers, Copper Swan’s, Septober Caddis and Eggs.
If you have any questions or just need directions, please give us a call or stop by the shop. 253-839-4119

If you’ve been complaining about our “spring” like me, take advantage of a positive side effect. So far my gloomy predictions for wet warm weather with the Yakima running like a super-sized chocolate shake aren’t coming true. The upside to this cold weather is a low clear Yakima, with Blue Winged Olives and Skwala Stones. Nymphing has been very effective and Blue Wings have been popping off during the day.
For you streamer guys, you can still pull up a few big fish by chucking the big uglies to likely spots.
Flies:
Nymphs: Pat’s, Jelly Bean Baetis, Micro Mayfly.
Dries: B.W.O. cripple, Paracute Baetis, Bullet Head Skwala .
Streamers: Sculpzilla, Sheila

| Cady Lake - March 29th, 2008 |
RECORDED:
39 °
FISHING: Great
Cady Lake near Belfair is our favorite Westside lake. Offering a unique combination of private property with public access, this is a resource that should be enjoyed but respected. “Cady Lake Manor” (a beautiful bed and breakfast) controls the only access to this fly fishing only lake. This is not a “pay lake,” but in return for the privilege of access, fishermen are asked to respect the rules of the lake and leave a small donation. Please call us at Puget Sound Fly Company if you have any questions 253-839-4119.
FISHING: Because Cady is spring fed, this lake maintains excellent fishing throughout the year. Dress warm, bring a hot beverage and be prepared for some real big fish. Cady has been producing decent numbers of big fish this spring.
FLIES: Streamers such as Flesh Flies, Sheila Sculpins and Beldars are very effective on full sinking lines. For you Chironomid guys, long leaders and smaller (#16's and 18's) will work well under an indicator. Black, Snowcone and Chromies have all worked well. Believe it or not, small adult and hatching midge patterns can work on warmer days.
EQUIPMENT: You can fish with a variety of line weights but a good assortment of sinking lines is essential to cover the depths. To cover your bases, everything from a floater to a type 6 will come into play on a typical day at Cady.

These reports come from staff fishing trips, customers and friends. Please call us at (253) 839-4119 if you are new to the area or estuary fishing in general.
FISHING: Our beach class picked up a few fish last weekend. Keep moving and keep casting. The fish are on the move so make sure you line is in the water as much as possible. Fish with confidence and cover as much water as possible. Purple and olive over white seems to be working well.
FLIES: Olive Shock & Awe, Grey Miniceiver, and Olive F.F. Herring Come by the shop or give us a call (253) 839-4119 if you have questions about any of this stuff.

| Quinault River – Lower - January 15th, 2008 |
RECORDED:
39 °
FISHING: Good
The lower Quinalt River runs through the Quinalt Indian Reservation. It (or any river on the reservation) can only be accessed when accompanied by a licensed Quinalt fishing guide. The lack of public access and the numerous tribal enhancement programs combine to create some of the best Steelhead fishing in the state. Please call us here at Puget Sound Fly Company (253) 839-4119 if you have any questions.
Clark, Chris, Jordan and I all fished the Queets drainage on Sunday. Fresh fish continue to trickle in. We are experiencing a mix of a few wild fish and the tail end of the hatchery run. Numbers are not high right now, but the quality of fish is (see our photo gallery).
Flies: EGGS! (beads, Glo Bugs and Crystal Eggs) And Egg Sucking Leeches were effective patterns for us.
