Washington Smallmouth Bass fishing takes place on the Yakima River just above the confluence into the Columbia River. For the most part bass are located on the Columbia River. As smolt come down the Yakima River, bass push up into the Yakima chasing these smolt. These bass get amped keying in on these smolt. The season typically starts in May and goes through June. We always go down to make sure the river is fishable and the bass have moved up before we take any trips down there.

You need a WDFW freshwater fishing license for smallmouth bass fishing.
