PSWOTF Fishing at the Stillaguamish River
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
