Now before Yakima there are stacks of small lakes and ponds right off I -90 in view loaded with guppies :nemo: and a few good ones:fish:

The mighty Yakima River runs right by these as well.

Are you talking about the I-82 ponds Swedefish? The ponds are right next to the freeway and some of them drain into the Yakima. I believe that the ponds are managed for warmwater species. Some ponds also are stocked with trout. Ponds 1-6 were planted in February and March. There is also an old report that the DFW did on the ponds listed in the Warmwater Enhancement Progam section of the DFW. If your talking about different ponds, then my bad.

I went for a wonderfull and relaxing drive by myself seeking the nice fishing space.Unfortunately it was on free fishing Sat.The ponds along I82 and I-90 were packed with folks.So I ventured down I-97. I found some nice ponds with good access.The ponds I found were in the Toppenish and Buena areas.Im gonna go back ths comming weekend and try them out.I ran into some locals at Wally World in Yakima that told me the further east you go the better the panfishing gets.

I also took my heavier gear to fish the Yakima River in looking for some Springer action.The river was very silted looking and quite fast.I through a salmon spoon but no hits .I did fight a branch for a few minutes thinking I had a good strike.Good for a adrenaline rush.

I have a few questions please.Do salmon travel up as high as the Sportsman Nat, Park?I wasnt to impressed with the park.I did my fishing in the Toppenish area.My other question is can you fish a toon or a small rowboat in the Ponds along I-97? I did not see any at all.Just shore fisherpeople?

Lastly Cherries are so good right now but today my tummy is ooooooooooooooooooooo.
