Fished the Snoqualmie yesterday and today. Didn't see any steelhead caught either day. Heard a couple of chums were taken below mouth of Raging.

Going to give it a try in the morning the river looked really good yesterday so we will see how we do.

Does anyone know where in Fall City or Carnation a person can get sandshrimp? There used to be a couple of places out there that sold them. My usual place is out. thanks for the help.

There is an Exxon/Mini-Mart in downtown Fall City. They usually have sandshrimp, I know the gas station in Preston also has sandshrimp. RonBob, any other places?

Snoqualmie at Fall City blown out of shape as of noon Saturday. Some fishing at Tokul but only heard of one fish caught, and didn't see it. Saw two dark fish in the hatchery creek, and no bright ones.

Guess the fish must still be late?

Thanks Kev, that might come in handy if the river drops and some fish show up.

How is the river looking? Might try and fish this week looked pretty high on Sat. afternoon.

As of 8:45pm on 12/20, it's running at 4770 cfs, I personally think it's perfect running at 3000-3200 cfs. I know alot of guys will fish at it's current level and flow. If you do, and depending on which drift you fish, be sure fish the slow water and the seams close to the bank. I would use something with bright colors and something stinky!
Wish I could be out there....

I spent Sunday and Monday at the eddy and the creek saw only 6 or 7 summer fish caught. NO WINTERS AT ALL!!!!!!!
This dosen't have a very good feel to it.
Or maybe they are late lololo.

Anyone have any luck over Christmas? Have the fish showed up yet? Thanks. Marc

I did a drive by through Fall City and then up to the Big Eddy and Tokul Creek. At 1pm, there must have been a dozen boats on the river all the way from Plumbs to Richter's
Take Out. Everyone I talked to showed a big "Zero" when asked about any fish. I checked the confluence running into the hatchery and saw only 4 fish. Of the 4, 3 were summer fish, the other was probably a 12lb winter hatchery hen.

In the last three day the fishing has been dead. Have only heard of a handful of winter fish. I have noticed a pletheria of guides on the river does anybody know if they are doing much?

I went out one Friday to the Snohomish and saw a couple with fish on but no body landed anything! Sunday I was down in Snohomish in the morning till noon, nothing was caught so we went to the Snoqualmie and I landed a nice 6 lbs buck winter just above the fall city bridge, just down from the plunkers! It should start to pick up this week if the rivers stay in shape.

Lost a real nice fish below tokul today then shot over to the Green and got a nice 6lbs hen. Didn't see any other fish but there was alot of guys.

Hey fishhawk, I've never been over to the Green river before. I'm planning on stopping by this week. Where is the best areas to fish? Any info would help.

They closed the most popular area around the trap at Palmer, so it's hike around and look for the fish. You might want to try the Flaming geyser area upstream from Auburn. There's not alot of fish around right now but hopefully they are coming.

Fished the Snoqualmie yesterday above Tokul creek and didn't see anything. Lot's of guys fishing the big eddy and the creek, didn't hear how they did.

Fished the mouth of the tokul creek 1/1/2000
and saw 3 landed, water level was low and clear. Not too bad of a day.

Anything happening on the Snoqualmie in the past couple of days?
