As a professional fly fishing guide service and
the premier Yakima River
outfitter, Worley Bugger Fly Co. is aware
of the added daily pressures that affect the fish, the river and
the over all environment of the river over the length of the fishing season. We feel a
responsibility to this magnificent resource and consider ourselves
fortunate to have the ability to show others the Yakima River.
|
|
|
Therefore, it is our duty to actively
participate and coordinate the "Yakima River Clean Up Day. By doing so,
we can ensure a healthier environment for the fish, wildlife and other
inhabitants of the Yakima and it's beautiful surroundings.

prize has a retail value of almost
$500.00. |

Those
participants without boats or those people we can't
pair up with a vacancy in a boat we can not will be
asked to work the river banks and boat launch area's
of the river. |

the event and the number of people participating, we ask that if you do plan
to volunteer your time and efforts for the day, please pre-register. You
may do so online or
