Checked out the Wallace Wednesday and while the river came up a bit from the rain there were no Coho's. Fished with a guy who hooked and landed a big King but that was it. Floated eggs through the hole below the 2 bridge. We need substantial rainfall.

Checked today, all boot kings, and tiny cutts. Water is extremely low. Needs a blowout and a couple weeks.

Nice job! I need to get up there. Been focused on the upper Snohomish so far. But I love small stream fishing

Maybe a little off topic, but does anyone know where to legally access the mouth of the Wallace? Any old grown over trails at mile marker "xyz"? I have seen cars parked off hwy 2 before by some big concrete blocks above a bend in the river but never had the chance to scout for a trail. Any info would be greatly appreciated and pm is ok as well if no one wants to post info in here

I think you are talking about what used to be a rest area. Unfortunately it is posted no trespassing by wsdot. Don't think they enforce it though. As far as I know there is no legal access to the mouth other than a boat. The mouth isn't what it used to be anyway, very shallow and flat, the deep pool is gone.
