Nice Naches Cutthroat for Rick

 

The Cedar The river is in PRIME shape! 480 CFS @ Landsburg. Try nymphing streamers! Be sure to let your fly dangle at the end of the drift! Early afternoon has been very productive, try finding some nice riffly water with some shape and structure and skate a rubber legged #12 yellow or tan stimulator with a gold ribbed hares ear dropper! If you catch a nice trout, rest the water and try for his big brother! These fish like to pod up in small numbers. There is also a nice mid-afternoon grey drake hatch worth mentioning and decent evening mayfly action. Late evening wake a small stimi near log jams near some nice water and you’ll fool some of the cutthroats!
The MF Snoqualmie

The Middle Fork Snoqualmie is still running a bit high for it to real productive. Currently, it is more prime for rafters and kayakers. It is OK fishing right now and we saw anglers out fishing with some success, but the PRIME TIME water is yet to arrive...we predict around July 4th and on. The water is high, a bit off color and cold, so the wading is not ideal yet. The South Fork is fishing a bit better near I-90 Exit 34/ Twin Falls State Park and the Rattle Snake Lake Road / Bridge area.

As you drive up the road, there are signs that might prompt you to turn around (road closures) and go home, but the road is open all the way up 9 miles to the Middle Fork Campground. The bridge to the Taylor River is washed out just past the MF campground. See the photos!
