Where and what fishing can be done right now?

Post by Trout-NinJa » Tue Dec 06, 2011 9:58 pm

Hi, I was wondering what kind of fishing I can be doing this time of year, also any places ( not exact ) just a general idea so I can take my dad out fishing before christmas! I live in Everett and I'm not looking to drive super long distances. Stiliiguamish? Snohomish? any places and fishing types would be greatly appreciated! I only have a fresh water license as well. Thank you!

Steelhead on the Snohomish, Skykomish, or Snoqualmie would be my recommendation. There are also a few lakes open year round for RBT. Tight lines. :cheers:

It's steelhead time right now. Also Beaver lake got lots of triploid plants as well as a few others. Head out to Re iter or tokul on the snoqualmie.

If you can stand the crowds; fish Reiter on the Skykomish. the last high water brought a lot of winter runs up. Fish are typical sized hatchery brats but have been there in good numbers. What fish are still there have been pounded daylight to dark by the hatchery hole hordes but fish are being caught there every day. The next decent rain (end of next week?) should bring in fresh fish. Further down river there are still a few "bright" silvers around as well as a decent number of C&R only chums to play with. The Wallace is stuffed with dark salmon with a few "bright" silvers, chum, and a few steelhead to play with. Be forewarned that there are 2 guys for every decent condition fish chasing them around.
