Hi guys, I am looking to try the cascade river for the first time. I am wondering if I could get some info on where to fish in the river, and what gear I should use? I assume most people will be near the hatchery, but I have never been to this river or area to fish, I usually fish the cowlitz. Any info would be greatly appreciated

Dont waste your time. FIsh the Sky. Reiter Ponds.

theres no fish in the Sky, you will have better luck on the Cascade. I have never fished the Cascade so I dont know where to go either.

[SportRadical]

ha, sounds like neither of you want me at your rivers.

[Dan Boone]

If you're closer to sky, then that's where you should go. I'm going there this week. Doesn't really seem to me like the Cascade would be worth the drive at this point.

Thanks Dan, I fished reiter on Tuesday and I will again tomorrow. I am just looking around for some new water where I could go camping and have a good chance at some fish. Any suggestions are welcome salmon or steelhead=)

The Cascade was 12ft leaders and 1oz cannonballs, made me sick. Only a couple of us using eggs. A few guys with long leaders and bare hooks landed a few. I did not recognize any of the guys there as local Cascade guys. Very sad...very few fish as well.

[Brat Bonker]

Yeah I know what you are talking about steely the island hole is full of stoner pot head snaggers when we were there last. Funny watching them though haha

[Bodofish]

Having a little trouble with that filter again I see. Labeling people will do nothing but get in you trouble down the road.

[oneshot]

i don't think stoners are into snagging, just doesn't sound like an accurate sterotype statement.. they do like Phish though..

[drysuperfly52]

has anyone been out to the cascade during the weekdays? i am thinking about taking some vaction to hit the river but really dont want to burn a vaca day for hardcore combat fishing.

[Mordalphus]

did you look at yesterdays escapement report? things dont look so good on the cascade

[drysuperfly52]

no i havent, i was just going to hit the river for a couple hours, we are mainly headed to newhalum to go to our secret little creek to fly fish but we need the sun up for that. i will look into the escapement reports, Thanks

[Mordalphus]

I was there last Sunday and there wasn't a king in the river, it was pretty low, didn't see a single fish caught in 6 hours.

We caught a few dollies though, so at least we weren't skunked.

Would be fun to stop by there, but I don't think I'd stay there a whole weeken. .

Maybe he means Tweakers . There is a big difference.

[drysuperfly52]

thats right, tweakers are the locals

[Brat Bonker]

No dude the guys that were snagging were high no joke. Maybe tweeker is a better word but these guys were on something. Cascade has to be good right with the higher flows and snow melt, that's where I would be at if I wasn't going to Reiter
