I spent the weekend exploring several small streams in Kittitas County for
trout. The streams I checked out have selective regulations and are not stocked.
I hooked many fish on a small hopper imitation, sometimes with a nymph dropper.
It's been a long time since I hooked so many fish on dries. Most were tiny, 5-7
inches, a 9 incher was a trophy. All were rainbows. I never saw another
fisherman, what a nice change of pace. I was camped at the KOA on the Yakima and
it was running very high with minimal surface activity. I fished it Friday
evening and took a large cutthroat on a hopper. I also encountered a nice
hatch of caddis at dark and caught several small fish.
