I fished the Yakima river above the Horn Rapids Damn. I paddled upstream from my launch about 2 miles. I found a pool full of smallmouth. I caught over 40 fish. Most of these were small fish under 12". I did manage a dozen or so of fish 12-14". This section of the Yakima river holds my personal best Smallmouth of 20". That is the longest fish to date. I have caught one that was heavier. Almost all the fish were caught on a green pumpkin curly tail or paddle tail on a darter head. Simple fishing at its finest. I had the river to myself except one bank angler. Beautiful, peaceful day that ended with some serious bass thumb.

Bass thumb, something worth bragging about. Tells the world that you know how to fish for Bass. Congrats on a successful day.

Bass thumb I know it well. Sounds like a great day and some good size fish. Always want to find the school of 15"+ bass.
