a lot of the smaller streams have tons of little wild trout in them that are a blast to catch especially for a 10 year old. i have picked one on a map, find it and try it. maybe a tough proposition for a 10 year old if there are no fish there i guess.  any of the forks of the teanaway, taneum creek, boxwood canyon creek, etc. the teanaway is always fun and you might be able to hike up into esmerelda basin a ways and find the stream and try it, i never have. i just always fish along the road. the further you get from the yak, the more cutthroats and less rainbows you'll fine.  there is a book i bought at a flyfishing shop that is titled something along the lines of the apline lakes wilderness fishing guide. a lot of the hike in fishing you'll find is gonna be at lakes.

 You might also try Tahoma Creek in Mount Ranier Park in late August or September. No fishing license required and loaded with native Cutts that love flies.

it would probably help if we knew what area you wanted to be in to fish.

 Close to your area there is great fishing in the Duckabush, Dosewallips and Hamma Hamma Rivers, I've flyfished the mouth of the Dose for Cutts and it was pretty consistent. Doublecheck regs for sea-run restrictions, a lot of streams in that area are closed to the retention of sea-runs, catch and release.

If it flies, it dies.

tribal permit needed on rez. Not needed on white boy side. I usually fish on whiteboy side by bridgport above chief joe dam. Fishing has been picking up. Easy to catch fish from the shore kids would have fun. Last time I went it had picked up alot since it was warming up. they will swallow but have been biting lightly right on the drop and usually require hooking but will swallow if u give them time.

I know alot of guys use powerbait but I think if you use bait you have to keep the first 2 caught. I would suggest trying micro jigs under a bobber.
