To open access to fly fisherman is opening access to people who will be faithful stewards of the river; Nobody adores a river like a fly fisherman.

I have never fished that section due to limited or no access. I believe more access would benefit everyone.

Improve access to Washington's only "Blue Ribbon" river will ensure its future a successful one.

To protect and enhance the river that we all love, it's essential to build a constituency for it, and to demonstrate that constituency to our political leaders. Better access leads to more users, and thus a bigger constituency for the fish and other wildlife. Opening more of the river to public access spreads out the users, and thus enhances the quality of everyone's time on the water.

The Yak is a jewel- the more access the better. I have been to Montana where great streams are basically closed to the public due to private and gov't property. Keep the Yak open and available to all and when there is a chance to increase public access and boat launches- take advantage of it so it can be available for generations to come.

Far and away the best river in Washington. It should be shared by all via accessibility and good, common sense planning, with an eye out for what was originally there.

This part of the Yakima River is one of the state's best fishing opportunities.
