FISHING: Excellent
The Cedar River is almost as good as it was hyped up to be! The best water for big fish can be found from Highway 18 down to the mouth. Please stop by or call Puget Sound Fly Company at 253-839-4119, if you have any more questions.
Clark fished the river For three hours on this morning. He caught 14 trout, 6 of which were over 20"! I can't tell you exactly where but, you don't have to head far out of town to get there.
Techniques: In addition to having been caught a few times, these fish are gettting pounded by beer enthusiasts in truck tubes. Fish weekdays, early or late. Find deep dark spots well away from the road.
Nymph fishing with a strike indicator is the most productive technique. Look for 4’-8’ of “walking speed” water with some cover.
Streamer fishing is less effective than it was in the begining. Use either a sink tip or sinking leader with a steamer fly and an erratic retrieve.
Dry fly fishing has been better than ever. If you can stay untill dark, you stand a good shot at one of the rivers famous monsters, on a dry!
Hatches: The Cedar is surprisingly fertile and has some good insect activity. Currently we are seeing some very good ‘Yellow Sally’ (small tan/yellow stoneflies), Pale Morning Duns, and Caddis. Unfortunately the fish aren’t always looking up during these hatches. Try mornings and evenings.
Flies: Nymphs: BIG STONE FLIES!!! Bird’s Nest, Tan and Brown Sparkle Pupa, Rubber Legged Hare’s Ear, Copper John
Streamers: Conehead Muddler (olive, brown, black), Rag Sculpin, Trout Bait, P.R. Spider
Dries: Yellow Sally, Tan Elk Hair, Light Cahill, PMD, Yellow Stimulator.
