I know where you're coming from. At points in time I might get out 3 or 4 times a year, sometimes with travel limitations, and I always wanted to get a fish. I got skunked a bunch. To a point it's part of the learning curve. But the experiences will pay off in the long run. Making some contacts will help, try a local club. Hang out here, you'll get ideas. The fly shop folks are really helpful, explain where your at with your fishing and your goals. And yes, cutthroat and other trout in the sound!
If you’ve found the Middle Fork Snoqualmie to be too wide and difficult to traverse in the last three months, I suspect you may be looking for something smaller? If that’s true, you probably want to fish what we call ‘blue lines’ as in the little blue lines on a map. Note, they aren’t any easier to fish than big wide open spots like the Middle Fork. They’re often steeper, or brushier, or both. They usually do have dumber fish, though.Hi. I'm pretty new to fly fishing. Trying to find a decent spot around Seattle to catch some trout. So far I've tried a few spots in the Middle Snoqualmie Fork and caught one small rainbow. Problem is, I feel like a lot of the places I find are too deep and wide and difficult to traverse.
Anybody know of any good spots?
We are coming into a good time of year to combine those two concepts.
Sure, there are some great books out there. Les Johnson's book. Stop by Gig Harbor and talk with them. Purdy is good, and there are tons of spots in the south sound. I'll PM you some spots, but no matter where you hit, you need to check the tides and figure out when to go.
I think you found your resource.
Seriously, a float tube or other watercraft will open up so many options.
