robday 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2014 I may have the opportunity to do some trout fishing on the Yakima river in eastern Washington this summer. I was looking at what patterns are popular and I have heard one mentioned called a "lightning bug." I have looked around the forum and the Internet and I haven't really found anything particular on what a lightning bug is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
