No fish have been planted in the Snoqualmie this summer, you would be better off fishing somewhere else if you want some action. Or maybe your fishing for nates.

Nobody's fishing steelhead anywhere that have been planted this summer.
 :dunno:
You're fishing mostly nates this time of year anywhooo...
Later on in the summer the hatchery brats will show up in more force.


idk about that, there are gonna be alot of down river nates still in the systems, the last summer nate i caught on the snoqualmie was 4 years ago. but i have caught a few winter nates every summer up at the falls. but my punch card begs to differ on the summer brats.

usually if you want to catch summer fish on the snoqualmie...you want to fish from big eddy to the falls. the fish shoot up the river in may-june with the high water. and they will hold up high until the river starts to level out and consistanly stay around 3000fps or lower. which is usually in july. in fact, looking at my notes i dont start hitting fish below spruce hole till late july early august

throw hardware for the most part, even in the slower water. a slow retrieve will get the job done if you cant affectively swing the spoon. always hold in the tailouts aswell. copper is my go to color this time of year. also i like to float pink 6" pink worms

at the risk of sounding cocky, the snoqualmie is the one river i know better then most people. and punch out every summer by july 1st. this year though i have been focusing on scouting for bear/elk so i have only got out a few times. but the fish are there thats forsure.

fish high, throw hardware...very simple. and if you cant do that, float a pink worm 

also early morning and late evening. if you can get to the falls, without tresspassing. you will have the golden ticket any time of day.
