Full Day Yakima River Float Trip

The Yakima River, which is 1.5 to 2 hours east of Seattle, is one of Washington's best trout rivers. Rainbow and Westslope Cutthroat trout dominate the trout water, which runs from Rosa Dam upstream to the town of Easton. Most of the angling occurs near Cle Elum and Ellensburg. Our guides use a dozen, or so, boat launches to access the river. We specialize in float trips, where the angler has the ability to fish from the boat or stop and wade fish along the drift. Most day floats last around 8 hours and we cover anywhere from 5 to 20 miles of rivers. Much of this variability depends on the time of year and river levels, or river flows. Most fish average 12-15 inches, but there are some incredibly nice fish throughout the system. We often hook fish nearing the 20 inch mark, but they don't always make it to the net. These fish are wild, fight hard and catch-and-release has made this a blue ribbon fishery. Join us for an unforgettable float down the Yakima River, just 90 minutes east of downtown Seattle.
