• Yakima River: The Evening Hatch Guide Service has reports about current fishing and stream conditions on the Yakima. So does the Worley-Bugger Fly Company. Red's Fly Shop (509-929-1802; sjoyce63@yahoo.com) will rent you a rubber pontoon raft, for the section from Ringer Road (a little below Ellensburg) to Roza. Rill Adventures (509-964-2520 or 1-888-281-1561, info@rillsonline.com) will rent rubber rafts for many different sections of the Yakima. Red's and Rill will let you leave your car at the end point of your float, and drop you off with the raft at the starting point.
  
• Washington Fly Fishing has all sorts of useful information about fishing in the State of Washington.
• Places to shop for fly fishing gear in the Seattle area: Creekside Angling (Issaquah), the Avid Angler (Lake Forest Park), Kaufmann's Streamborn (Tigard, Seattle, and Bellevue), and REI (Seattle, Bellevue).
• Chris Grieve has a very nice introduction to Northwest fly fishing that includes techniques, places and times to fish for trout and steelhead.
