EWA prides themselves on searching out new and exciting fisheries in their local area to provide diverse and unique fly fishing opportunities for clients. EWA is constantly trying to find virtually undiscovered fisheries in the area and are happy to offer their newest discovery, Cascade Mountain Creeks.
Because the PNW is known for its steelhead and salmon, most anglers in the area focus most of their efforts on anadromous species. What is produced are some amazing little streams tucked into the mountains around Seattle that have some great dry fly fishing, much of the time for native species that have never seen a stocked fish.
For those who enjoy minimalist fly fishing or fishing fiberglass, bamboo or extremely lightweight rods, these fisheries are for you. Nothing larger than a 3wt is used and usually 0-1wt rods are used to cast size 14-20 attractor and imitative patterns.
Some of these fisheries require above average wading skills as they are sometimes forged by wading or scrambling over log jams. While this can be difficult, the rewards are well worth the effort.
