Yes, but they're custom and can be booked directly with me by email me at "info@shawflyfishing.com". Other water includes the Snoqualmie River forks, Cedar River, Puget Sound for Sea-Run Cutthroat, and Alpine Streams
What’s included in a trip?
Each trip includes room for up to two guests (e.g you, friend and I), tackle, flies, rod/reel (if needed/requested), life vests, light snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, waders/wading boots (with proper notice). For specific details, see the below FAQs
Do I need to bring my own fly fishing gear?
Guests are welcome to bring their own fly-rods, reels, etc. If you don't have any gear or would prefer to test out other equipment, I always bring a variety of rods ranging from Orvis and Sage to Redington. All of my reels are either Redington, Sage or Ross. All flies, tackle (tippet, leaders, etc) are included at no extra cost.
Do I need to bring my own waders and boots?
Generally in the summer, we wet wade, meaning we're rocking shorts and wading boots due to the Eastern Washington Heat. During the shoulder seasons (March-May and September-October), I'll generally be wearing wading pants or full waders. Please let me know 5 days in advance for the trip if you need waders and/or boots, I have a limited selection of gear but can always source more with proper notice.
*Important* No studded boots in the drift boat, it absolutely destroys the deck

The best fly fishing on the Yakima River typically runs from March through May before runoff and irrigation demands start to peak and then from late August to October after the "flop" occurs, when the water management shifts to the Tieton.

Guests should bring a fishing license, weather-appropriate clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks, and drinks. I recommend dressing in layers to stay comfortable throughout the day, the boat also has a decent amount of water-tight storage as well.
