Taylor River, WA

Had no real intentions of fishing this river this day but after mountain biking got cut short what else are you going to do but grill and fish. So I hit the Taylor River again in a new location near the picnic area of the Middle Fork Trail head parking lot. Caught several fish on Gus. Not a hole lot to update on this river except that moving down river increased the average size of the fish and tried some new bugs that all worked. If you try to mountain bike the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Trail, it is not easy. The trail is wet, muddy, and the ground is very loose. Mix that with the possibility of fishing instead and you might not bike as long as you planned. At least I did not. I plan to post every time I fish so here was another quick outing.
