The Cedar River originates in the Cascades and flows approximately 45 miles to Lake Washington. The Cedar River is the primary water source for the City of Seattle and as a result the upper watershed is completely closed to public access. The lower river is open to catch and release fishing from just below Landsburg Dam (upstream of Maple Valley) all of the way down to the mouth of the river in Renton. The river is only open for fishing of the resident Rainbow Trout and Cutthroat Trout during June, July, and August. The rest of the year it is closed to all fishing to protect weak runs of Sockeye Salmon and Winter Steelhead.
Trout 10” to 12” are very common. Trout 16” to 19” are not unusual. They are not present behind every good-looking rock however and to find them requires some diligence.
