NEW Fishing Report and Blog Site

November 30, 2021

NEW Blog and Fishing Report Location

Hey everyone, thanks so much for following the blog here for so long. As many of you know, historically this was the #1 Yakima River Fishing Report blog for a long time! We took our foot off the gas over the past several months as we've been working on a plan to migrate our blog over to our other website, which is our online store. You can navigate to the BLOG & RIVER REPORT right from the online store. Eventually our entire website will migrate into one location, it's a big job and has taken away from our ability to keep the river reports updated frequently. Thanks for hanging in there!

Going forward, we'll be able to better utilize the new spot and have many staff members contribute with the best real time information available. Hop on over and browse the new blog, and we'll be posting a lot of articles and updating many of the old favorites!

Happy Holidays!

Joe, Steve, and the Red's Fly Shop Crew
