A couple buddies and I are thinking about floating the upper cascade, and I was just wandering if anyone knew how the fishing was? Thanks

Careful what section you choose to float, or it could be your last. Downstream from Marble Creek through the canyon is for expert kayakers only.

As for fishing, I'd expect a very few summer steelhead at best and very limited numbers of resident trout. If I were looking to fish, I'd fish elsewhere.

Hey, why not. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

And now we know why a picture is worth a thousand words!

Cuponoodle, great photos along with Salmo_g's warning. Beautiful looking place that I'd prefer to enjoy from the safety of the bank.

Noodle - where you been???? Nice to have you back in the loop!!
Done the NF recently?? I was around the LQ a few days ago - NADA as usual for me!

 

[Dr. Magill]

also - where did you get those pics?? AWESOME!

Those pics were all taken from the road or the campgrounds when I took my bike to the Cascade Pass trailhead a couple of weeks ago. I guess the good news is that you can access a lot of the river on foot.
Jamie, I haven't even stepped foot in the NF since it opened. The only fishing I've done this summer was a few days on the Skagit.
With the amount of snow that was still up there, and the temps forecast for this week, the Cascade should be ripping soon. Probably won't be in any kind of shape for fishing.
