Stillaguamish River, Washington



The "Stilly"…if you haven't at least heard of this famed river you are new to the sport of laying out line with the long rod. Not to worry, the Stillaguamish continues to be one of the destination-rivers in America for both summer and winter steelhead. The State of Washington has more than its fair share of famed steelheading water and the Stilly is well up there on the list.

The Stillaguamish is made up of the South and North forks. The North Fork holds the distinction of being declared a fly only fishery in 1949, the first ever in the world. Offering an abundance of fly-fishing opportunities for many species, the Stilly supports winter and summer steelhead and late fall sea-run cutthroat on the lower river.

Winter fishing here as on many western Washington rivers will not be lonely, as bald eagles regularly sit high in riverside trees critiquing casting technique paraded by their sentinel stations. A day of fishing the Stillaguamish is one of cobblestone-wading, testing one's steelhead lie knowledge and daydreams sprinkled with liberal moments of connecting with one of these sea weaned migrants, be it summer or winter, is still one of fly angling's great challenges and most rewarding experiences.
