Klickitat River in October

[emrldwtranglers]

October 25, 2019  YES! We just completed our first of many EWA Women’s 2 day/1 night steelhead trips on the Klickitat River and it was a resounding success.  Not because a ton of fish were caught but because new friends were made, new river fished, new skills learned and new stories created.  The Klick is fishing well at the moment.  As most of you know we are only swinging flies and mostly utilizing two handed rods.  We are one of the very few who ONLY swing flies for these majestic fish and do so for many reasons but mostly because it is what we are crazy sick with passion for and believe it can be infectious.  Yakima River had a decent bump from the rain last week but is coming back down quickly as are most of the other rivers in the area.  Still some BWO’s coming off during the afternoon mostly and of course other methods are working well too. Cowlitz River is in great shape at the moment too and while there are a few steelhead around and can surprise you if chasing the sea run cutthroat.  With flows as low as they are, there is some wonderful water to pursue these days down there. Puget Sound is testing anglers to know their beaches as wind has been coming from all directions lately so knowing which beaches are in the lee of the wind is crucial to a fishable day on the water.  Baitfish, shrimp patterns and surface skating flies are all working well for SRC’s at this time. Lastly, most of our small streams are open for just another week or so so if you want to get out there better do it though at this point we would simply suggest pointing your attention to the Yakima or Cle Elum Rivers as both are fishing well and low enough to approach from all over. If we can be of any assistance out there, please let us know so we can get you out there and ready?

Kliicitat River

July 31, 2019  Klickitat Steelhead Time! We are fired up about the coming of the Klick season for wild steelhead.  This river is a beautiful fishery in the shadow of Mt. Adams in south central WA and home to some beautiful fish.  We are offering both day and over night camp trips this season beginning in September and running through November.  As always we are employing spey rods for this trip, 7-8wt two handers with Rage, Scandi or Scout heads work fine and your fly of choice of course.  If you have been aching for a river camping trip close to home ache no more.  Camp prepared food is maybe finer than any restaurant could hope to compete with and our staff is quite skilled in this arena as well.  This season will book up quickly so please reach out soon to secure your days on the water with us.  Questions, more info or to book, please call or email: EWA Store 206-708-7250 [email protected] Photo Caldwell “Rohr” Rohrbach
