Tough day on the Upper Tolt. I am new to Seattle and am exploring different places to fish. I decided to try the Upper Tolt which is just north of the City of Carnation. It's a ways in but there is a public access point about 4 miles up on Entwhistle (Turns into Tolt River Road). You take it up to the end. (Need parking pass... I purchased one when I got my license but wasn't sure if that was the correct one.)
It's a beautiful scenic river and one must be cognizant of the homeowners on the river... they are quite far back but it is important to respect their privacy.
Other than catching a small Brown the first few casts, I didn't catch anything else... nor did I get any hits.
The water was lower than some of the other rviers like Snoqualmie and Yakima, but still a bit fast and muddy. It's a bit smaller in width than the latter two and some might consider it a creek but you can swing you rod with any issues of getting tangled.
I would expect lat in the year that the river will be better to fish. Afterward, I slipped down to the lower Tolt and it was high and fast and starting to fill with tubers.
