Upper Cle Elum River Guided Fly Fishing Trip

CLE ELUM RIVER GUIDED TRIPS

WALK AND WADE TRIPS IN CENTRAL, WA

Big Adventures for Small Trout

The Upper Cle Elum is located above the big lake in the National Forest. It's a wade fishing adventure within a short drive of the Suncadia resort and Rosyln, Washington. Pickups at Suncadia are available upon request. Often however we meet at Basecamp Books and Bites in Roslyn, and caravan up to the river so that guests have the option to recreate in the area after fishing.

This fishery is all about hiking into the wild and fishing to small trout in beautiful places. On occasion we bump into 14" fish but most fish will be 6-12" and targeted with dry flies. It is a very good trip for beginners and a great way to get coaching on how to properly wade fish.

The hiking is not intense but anglers need to be able to navigate some boulders and mobile on foot in a large rocks.

What do I need to bring on a creek fishing trip?

You don't have a bunch of fancy gear to do this trip, but you will need good outdoor summertime clothing. Quick dry pants, preferably anglers have wading boots with neoprene socks, but any closed toed wading shoe can get you by. We recommend long sleeved shirts, sunglasses, hat, and a hip pack or small backpack are the bare essentials. Kids can get away with old sneakers and good socks.

We like lightweight 2-4 weight rods, it makes the casting easier, more effective, and it is much better for hooking fish than something heavier. You can use a 5 weight, but lighter is better.

"The Upper Cle Elum River is a wonderful wading adventure with gorgeous Cutthroat, Rainbow, and Brook Trout willing to eat dry flies."
