YAKIMA PROJECT “FLIP-FLOP” OPERATIONS UNDERWAY; EXERCISE CAUTION AROUND YAKIMA BASIN RIVERS![]()
![]()
The Bureau of Reclamation will begin its annual “flip-flop” operation in early September to aid in successful spawning and incubation of chinook salmon eggs and to improve winter reservoir storage in the Yakima basin. This means flows out of Keechelus and Cle Elum reservoirs in the upper Yakima River basin will gradually decrease, while flows from Kachess and Rimrock reservoirs will increase. This operation will affect flows in the Tieton and Naches rivers as well as the upper Yakima, Cle Elum, and Kachess rivers in the upper Yakima basin. In other words, flows from these facilities will transition, or “flip-flop.”![]()
![]()
“Reclamation urges those recreating or working along Yakima basin rivers to exercise caution, especially in the Yakima River near Thorp,” said Chuck Garner, Yakima Project River Operations supervisor. “Please avoid areas where spillway water flows into the river, portage around buoys, and stay out of dangerously turbulent flows,” added Garner.![]()

TAKE NOTE (8/20/21):The Kittitas County Sheriff Office is requesting assistance in identifying the owner of this cow. The cow has an ear tag number 1903 and it currently in a field near 1671 Westside Rd. If anyone has any information about this please call 509-925-8534.
TAKE NOTE (8/10/21):The first rule of #recreateresponsibly is to Know Before You Go - and we want you to know that the Towns to Teanaway trail system is still closed due to high risk of fire, extreme heat warnings, and early-morning forest health work. Please, do not use these trails! They exist thanks to partnerships with private landowners, and those landowners do not want to chance any wildfires. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
