There are two large dams on the Yakima River, the Kachess Dam and the Bumping Lake Dam. The river experiences seasonal trends with peak flows occurring during the spring and summer months due to snowmelt and rainfall. Interestingly, the Yakima River is known for its fly fishing and is a popular destination for anglers.
