UPDATED: The North Fork is closed which is where we were planning on fishing, so we're moving it to the South Fork. We'll meet at Stanley Street Market at 7 a.m. and then head up towards Verlot to fish up there where the river is close to the road. We've never fished this area, but it looks beautiful and will be a lovely way to explore a new area. We'll be targeting trout, with the weather being warmer this week I'm thinking streamers and nymphs might be best, but I'll be bringing dries just in case they are rising in the morning. 

I got some good info from Avid Angler's site (ignore seasons): https://avidangler.com/fishing-conditions/water-profiles/rivers/stillaguamish-river

What to bring: **If you need gear let me know beforehand so I can grab it for you**

Fly rod and reel: 5/6 wt, intermediate line or dry - depends on what you have or what you want to fish
Rigging: Streamers and nymphs
Waders with belt, or maybe wet wading with water shoes - depends on the temperature and your hardiness!
Net (always better for the fish)
Nippers and forceps
Hat
Sunscreen
Wading Staff - for safety
