so after reading postings and getting some hints from other fisherman I decided to try my luck at the Sammamish river. I parked in Woodinville and walked down river past 405. I started with the bead head for some pike minnow, you could see them swimming around all over the place, I had no luck what so ever doing that so I switched to my go to fly, my royal coachman. boom first cast I hook onto a pike minnow slammed it on the surface. I wish more fish fought like those fish for their size they don’t give up. after wading down to the next hole I saw what I thought was a rainbow surfacing under a tree. a few casts a hook up with the tree and a new coachman I ended up catching a healthy 12" rainbow. fished and walked along the trail for about 3.5 hours, I ended up with 1 pike minnow, 5 rainbows and countless miss from me not paying attention. I would have taken a picture of the rainbow but cell what MIA in my back pack at the time.

can’t wait to go back
