I think I was there last week. This year I noticed there were a couple of big bucket shifts over the winter from at least the last dozen of the 20+ years I've been fishing it.

I like the looks of that. Are those resident or searun cutts you think?
I had a few hours to explore yesterday and checked out a few sections of Costco Creek in the suburbs. It's cool that there is something like this tucked in amongst the office buildings and shopping malls.
I lost one that could have been almost twice this big!!

Small streams are my favorite, little bits of heaven on earth. So peaceful.
And I love picking apart a puzzle. Several fish here, but of course you know where the best fish was holding. I got it without getting hung up too.

I prefer to call them strike indicators.
You and @rotato are reminding me that it's time to head up into the mountains. My wife and I have a stream where I can wet wade with the 2 weight and she can relax in a folding chair and read while I snag this tree, then that tree and finally get a rhythm going.

Nice looking water!
And yeah I spend some serious time untangling from the alders
Cheers
Boulder hopped around for some southern Dolly Varden this AM. Water still kinda high and will be better in a few weeks but I’ve been eyeing this one for a minute and felt like checking it out
Did some blue lining in Snohomish County yesterday. I didn’t land a ton of fish and didn’t find what I was looking for but found two rainbows that I would consider “nice fish” for a west side creek. Was a lot of fun on the 3wt glass.

Checked off my small stream adventures yesterday. Didn't get the chance to fish over the holiday weekend due to my partner getting sick for the whole 3 days. Knowing that some of the systems close on the 10th, I took the day off of work yesterday (cough cough) to explore some of my favorite spots off HWY 2 before they close 
. The decision to call in did not disappoint. Fished a total of 4 spots and landed around 25 to net. The heat kicked in after 4 hours of fishing and I had to call it. Most of the fish were in the 8"-10" range with the last of the day coming in around 14". Just sad that the season is so short (again). Back to SRCs.
Elk hair caddis was the fly of choice.
