Fly fishing South Fork of the Snoqualmie river

August 2, 2007 | mark | Fly Fishing

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.

    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.
