Yakima River Fly Co

Yakima River Fly Co is a guide service rather than a retail shop, based in Cle Elum, Washington and serving Ellensburg and central Washington. It is run by Zach Lindor, a longtime guide and Pacific Northwest native, and it takes both single boat bookings and larger multi boat groups. The business works two other rivers besides its home water. On the Klickitat it runs seven hour full day floats for one or two anglers at $600, timed to the river’s steelhead returns. On the south and middle forks of the Snoqualmie it runs four to five hour walk and wade days at $400, which suit anglers based closer to Seattle. Gear comes with every trip and anglers of all experience levels are taken. Booking is handled online or directly by phone and email with the owner.
