And there is a good bit of fishing around the Bellevue area. I live only 20 minutes away. The big question is about what sort of fishing do you want? There is a spring creek (Rocky Ford) about 3 hours away, passible to good trout fishing (Yakima River 2hours, Middle Fork Snoqualmie 1hour), and steelhead fishing (Snoqualmie R, 1/2 hour, North Fork Stillaguamish, FF only, 1.5 hours, Skagit/Sauk Rivers 2-3 hours).
Now, if you are nice, and I am free, I might be coerced to take you out for a day.... > 2 - Any guide recommendations for the Bellevue area? www.emeraldwateranglers.com www.flyfishwa.com www.worley-bugger.com > > 3 - What's a going rate for a guide up there?
