Google Earth is an awesome resource for finding fishing holes.. i suggest downloading that and getting a satelite view of the whole area, u can see the roads and hwys and the river and the fishing holes ;)

If you're taking I-5, there are many exits you can take. But I'd say the two easiest would be the 128th St Exit in south Everett or the Hwy 2 Exit a little further north. There's also the 41st St. Exit in Everett that will get you right down onto Snohomish River Rd. If you're bank fishing there are several places you can pull off the road and find a spot on the bank (as long as you get there early enough - this stretch gets pretty crowded)

Like oneshot said though, Google is a great tool for finding good routes to get there. The whole river has humpies in it right now, so anywhere will work.

Good Luck!

From what I've heard, you can drive up several of the roads that follow the river and pull over and walk down to the river where you see a trail.
