Fished the sammish river on a kayak with a fly rod. It was a great day started at marymoor and stoped at redhook. I was fishing with flies and a boober. within a couple min's of puting the kayak in the water i had my first fish on about 3" long. after that caught about 8 fish that were 10 to 16" long. about 6 of them were 10- 12" and the other two were 16". will bring camera next time and try to get some pics. should be going out tomorrow if I get work off. water was very merky. I had my flies set up so they would just be hiting the bottom every now and then. not many snags. It was about a 4 hour float and not many spots to get out of river to go to the bathroom. dont drink to much coffe before you try it out. I was very surprised first time fishing the SR but wont be the last.

Please catch and release.

Awesome! Thanks for the report. I've been wanting to try the Sammamish River by boat but couldn't figure out an efficient way to get the boat back up river without a second car at the end. I'm guessing you had a ride waiting for you at the end. What kind of fly were you using? Thanks again for the report!

I was using anything green or black with legs followed by a pink or red san juan.
