We, at Red's Fly Shop, are here to help you make the most of your time on the river.  With the river flows fluctuating so much this time of year, we field a lot of questions about float distances and speeds.  The rule of thumb you can use on the Yakima, is that for every 1000 cfs of flow, the river is moving about 1 mile per hour.  That means at the current level of 2500 cfs, it'd take you 4 hours to float form Ringer to Red's if you put your boat in the water and didn't take a backstroke or drop anchor anywhere.  At our normal summertime flows of 4000 cfs, the float speed bumps to 4 mph, meaning you could float Ringer to Roza in 5 hours if you didn't slow down, anchor up, or pull over.  We find that we can consistently take double the standard float time when fishing hard.  This time is occupied pulling over, anchoring up (whether to fish or retie flies!), or just pulling hard to slow the boat down.  Hopefully that information helps you plan your Spring and Summer floats more efficiently.
