Only had a few free hours Saturday, so Donna and I blasted up to I-90 to drop into the South Fork Snoqualmie. Dry in Puyallup when we left, but steady drizzly rain from North Bend east.
Hit the river about 2:30 and in the next 2 hours, we each brought in 6 fish, ranging from my smallest (6 inches) to Donna's biggest (12 inches). I had a couple 8-9 inchers and one acrobatic 11 inch rainbow that did a couple impressive tail dances.
Still working out techniques for the underwater camera (Canon D10) so only got one decent pic (of the 8 inch 'bow). Purple Haze flies from Troutwater (formerly: Yakima River Fly Shop) in Cle Elum proved the most effective flies -- sizes 12-16 -- but Irresistibles also drew some attention.
