Had a couple of meetings in Ellensburg a few days apart so it made sense to hit the river afterwards. Ran from Ringer to MP 20 late Saturday afternoon as my fishing partner wanted to break in her newly-acquired boat (one of roughly 20 in her personal stock). Fortunately we were behind most of the innertube hatch so we had the river to ourselves except for one guide from Red's. Took most fish on a #14 McKenzie Special (a caddis imitation).
The next drift was from Umptaneum to Mahre's. Fished with JR Rodriguez of Evening Hatch as part of a Washington Water Trust event. Great guy--knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Fish took a variety of flies so no real insight for what to use during the bright sunny conditions we experienced.
