Larry,
Good for you. Glad you could see the other side for a change. Ya know it might just help you become a better Bass fisherman. Now you will really appreciate how easy it is for us. Changing flys every other minute just to keep up with those slimers is way to much work. But a different challenge that all those that haven't tried it yet should.

Next we will be hearing what color of power bait is working for the hatchery dogs that are stocked in the local stormwater ponds called lakes. Just a reminder, this is the Western BASS Club......shees......

This is gross! You guys need to move this thread.....to another forum altogether!
I can't believe what I'm hearing. A few tough days on Sammamish then Washington and you guys resort to slimers. All that hard work waisted....

"Blue Wing Olive" and "Elk Hair Nymph" I think are a couple of local, legendary waitresses from Selah. Where did you launch the Pro-Craft? Starting to sound like "A River Runs Through It" revival. I need to go now, I think I swallowed a blue wing olive and need to THROW-UP......

You've seen the light, eh Larry?
You were obviously fishing the lower canyon between Ellensburg and Yakima. That's a great section of water! If you catch the blue wing olives hatching (or humping, as some people call it) and have the right size, color and shape of bug, and present a drag-free drift without spooking the fish, you can have a most memorable day on the water!

Geez Larry, How could you keep your mind on fishing when there were all of those "dates" across the river.

all the bugs were "humping" that hilarious.

Man..........What did I start? OK....Just got back and I have to say.......... We bass anglers have it easy! Not only was it cold.......(29 degrees at game time!) and low water.......but every type of bug had been humping and had the fish all riled up so you had to keep changing lures for each area according to the hatch! Ever heard of a "Blue Wing Olive"? How bout a "Elk Hair Nymph"? I know bout them now and it is a true art the way these folks tend to their craft and although my fish were just short strikers I had a blast! Especially when we first got there and were met by 15 Bighorn Sheep across the river who stayed around all day!
p.s......I have some free waders in my garbage can for those who dont mind swimming as the leak like crazy......BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
oh....yes we waded...no drift boat wus here!

Sure, as long as Cranberry isn't the name of your septic tank.

Oh Dave you dog. There you go bustin' me out about the "slimmers". Ok, I like to fish for slimmers. I said it are you happy now? But you know what? I LOVE BASS FISHING!

How did I know "Dipsnort" Dave would chime in on this one. You think you could squeeze that Yakima fish any harder? They aren't tuff like BASS. 8)
I've been lurking and finally had something to say.
Actually, the hold on the Yakima fish (and the others) is the proper way to hold a salmonid for a "hero shot". The hand around the "wrist down by the tail should be fairly tight in order to control movement by the fish and the other hand gently cradles the area just behind the head. And by the way, you can't release a trout by tossing it back it like a bass if you want it to survive, but I'm sure you knew that, Carlos.
