I'm just another laid-off electronics tech., currently taking IT classes

find time in a few months to knock the rust off of my fly-casting arm.

I've taken a couple of basic fly-tying classes, and it seems my old tech
skills work there too. Any thoughts on what types and sizes of wet or
dry flies might find success on the mighty Yakima River?

The Yakima usually gets a good hatch of Skwala's from mid-late March
and any good Skwala pattern size 10 -8 will produce through mid May.
Standards like PMD's, BWO's, Pheasant tails, and Gold ribbed hares
ears in sizes 16-12 are good the rest of the year.
