Talking Technical on the Yakima River with Joe Rotter

Our destination is the Yakima River in central Washington with fly fishing guide, outfitter, and instructor Joe Rotter, Reds Fly Shop, Ellensburg, WA.  The Yakima has it all--big western hatches, wild fish that fight like steelhead, beautiful scenery, and cold water all summer long.   It’s a technical fishery that requires casts to teacup-sized targets.  Joe gives a master class on technical fly fishing.  Stick around to the very end for a great story about an unwanted cliff diver who dropped in on Joe’s boat.

With host, Steve Haigh
