The Snoqualmie River is located approximately 1hour from Seattle. It has 3 forks, the South, Middle, and North Forks, which join to form the main stem river at Snoqualmie. It then flows over the Snoqualmie Falls and through the towns of Fall City, Carnation, and Duvall before joining the Skykomish to form the Snohomish River. The Snoqualmie River is a freestone river without dams to control the flow of water. Mother Nature is completely in charge of the stream flow.

The falls present an upstream barrier to anadromous fish. As a result, native Rainbow Trout and West slope Cutthroat Trout are found in all three forks. The average size is around 8” to 10”, with some more than 12” in length. Due to the size of the trout it is recommend that you use lightweight gear on these streams.

Food & Beverages: Bring your own.

What to Bring:

Washington state fishing license
3-5 weight rods with floating line
3x,4x, and maybe 5x tippet depending on which flies you use
