Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River, Washington
See also Snoqualmie River


The Snoqualmie River is located just east of metropolitan Seattle about 30 minutes just off Interstate 90.

Much of the year this river fluctuates with the rainfall and snow melts with the best of the NW rivers. But come summer, or late spring in dry years, the Snoqualmie becomes a playground for many of the Seattle's feverished anglers as this gem of a river holds a variety of trout species that are wild and native to the region.

The NW is we known for its steelhead, and the "Sno" has its share of them. However, most anglers visit the mainstem or one of the 3 main forks on summer evenings after work for the, albeit small, but fiesty and beautiful rainbows and cutthroat trout that reside here and willingly jump on anything buggy that passes overhead. Many come armed with 4 and 5 weight rods. Yet more and more local anglers are discovering the fun these little trout can be on smaller rods like 1 and 2 weights.

The season usually starts in earnest around mid to late June and extends into October. During the hot months, wet wading is the norm as the cool water takes some of the sting out of the late afternoon heat. Come join us for a wonderful NW experience among the lush landscape and wildlife of the Cascade Mountains west side.
