After getting a TON of work done today I drove up to the South Fork of the Snoqualmie river to fish a secret spot I’ve discovered fairly high up in the mountains. There’s a forgotten path down to the river, you scramble over some rocks, slide down a small waterfall, boulder around a bend in the river and there’s this sweet little pool. A nice 12 inch rainbow exploded the surface when he took the dry fly on my first cast. He put up a beautiful fight. I released him unharmed. The river turns into a gorge further down with a few big log jams and it looks like it’s fairly unexplored. So that’ll me my next mission when I’m up there again.
My name is Mark Maunder. I've been blogging since around 2003 when I started on Movable Type and ended up on WordPress which is what I use to publish today. With my wife Kerry, I'm the co-founder of Wordfence which protects over 5 million WordPress sites from hackers and is run by a talented team of 36 people. I'm an instrument rated pilot and I fly a Cessna 206 along with a 1964 Cessna 172 in the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. I'm originally from Cape Town, South Africa but live in the US these days. I code in a bunch of languages and am quite excited about our emerging AI overlords and how they're going to be putting us to work for them.

Hi I am coming to Snoqualmie in May from the uk.
I would like to know if there is any fly fishing in the area.
Best Regards

I have a feeling this page is long forgotten, but I thought I’d try anyway…I fish the middle fork, but have been intrigued by the south fork of the Snoqualmie. Is there really fish in there to be caught? I don’t expect you to give up your secrets…but if I know they’re there, somewhere, I’ll go looking. Lemme know if you still monitor this.
