Go to the Skagit!

Amazing flyfishing only trout stream...

Pretty high right now, but August 1 should be perfectly wadeable for newbies to river fly fishing.

Cheers,
Nicole

this is just a question not a comment. I was informed from a co-worker that the skagit was trout heaven. If u put an adams fly on you hooked enough fish to get bored. Any truth to this?

all sections of the river can be good... down low by the lake has a lot of slower water... but is wider.  I personally like the pockets and riffels further up.  Its more a matter of personal preference.

It can get that good if your there at the right time and with the right pattern.  But it's not guaranteed that one will have a day like is described to you.  Best chance at that is the hour just before nightfall.
