Just moved to the Seattle area. Currently in Bothell. I'm interested in river, stream & lake fly or spin casting for trout, but enjoy bass fishing too. I'd like to try salmon or steelhead too, but geared a bit light for that. Looks like there are many possibilities in Snohomish County. Any recommendations for a local newbie?
Thanks,
Jeff Wagner

There's a number of us on the forum near by so if you give a shout we can probably get something figured out. Personally I've been burned too many times by people not showing or bagging out at the last minute so I don't ask anymore. If you want to go give a shout and I'll meet just about anywhere.

Last month I was over in Burlington for a few days and fished Pass Lake, west of Anacortes. It is a fly fishing only lake and a fun little lake to fish. In two afternoons of fishing, I got 21 rainbows averaging about 17-18" in size.
