Summer steelhead season is getting underway; early summer fish and late winter stragglers possible. Low water year suggests switching to summer patterns and Scandi heads.

Good surface activity observed on the South Fork with fish rising to small insects. Very low, clear flows call for small mayfly patterns; dry fly action picks up as morning temperatures warm.
Reported location: South Fork Snoqualmie
Reported water clarity: clear
Hatches in this report: small mayfly.

The Middle Fork is running very low but still offering good dry fly fishing. Stealthy wading is essential given the low water conditions.
Reported location: Middle Fork

Flows will fluctuate due to spring rain and snowmelt, making conditions touch and go. On warmer days fish may rise to large dry flies; dropping a small nymph dropper is recommended.
Reported location: Middle Fork
Emerald Water Anglers
Middle Fork flows are at 760 cfs, well below the threshold for guiding, making it fishable. Dry fly activity is unlikely yet but worth trying on warmer afternoons, with a Stimulator and dropper rig as the recommended setup.
Reported location: Middle Fork

The forks are running low, requiring stealthy approaches. Dry flies are producing strikes throughout summer, while swinging small streamers is the key to larger fish.
Reported location: The forks

Wild trout are active and responding to dry flies throughout the day on the forks. Fish are wary in clear water, so stealth is essential.
Reported location: the forks
Reported water clarity: clear

Forks of the Snoqualmie are fishing great for pocket water and dry fly action all day. Attractor patterns and caddis are working well; matching the hatch is not necessary.
Reported location: Forks of the Snoqualmie / mountain creek tributaries
Reported water clarity: clear
Hatches in this report: Caddis.

Mid-June is historically a good time to fish the forks of the Snoqualmie. Light snowpack this year means the river will drop throughout summer, so anglers are encouraged to get trout fishing in before water temperatures rise too high for ethical catch and release.
Reported location: forks

The Snoqualmie Forks are running high at approximately 1100 cfs and may rise further with warm weather. Anglers who know the river well can find safe spots for good presentations; the South Fork is noted as smaller with fewer anglers.
Reported location: Snoqualmie Forks; Tanner Landing in North Bend; South Fork
