I followed the Jordan road from the Arlington side. There are 3 or 4 public parks with good access to the river and plenty of parking. The drifts are long and the holes are fairly deep. Visibility 5'. Caught one 17 inch Cutthroat and let 'em go. Got hungry on the way home and wished I had kept him.
The South Fork is not a very popular Steelhead river but I fished with a couple of locals and they said they pull one out once in awhile. They also said it's a good river for salmon in the fall.
Stopped by the Pilchuck on the way home but no fish. Great day though.
