Swift Creek is ~38 miles upstream from I-5 when taking the Sedro Wooley exit (which is a more direct route to Hwy 20 than to go through Burlington). It is past Concrete and just past the Hwy 530 junction. I believe the last mile marker you will see is "mile 99". You will see a sign denoting Swift Creek and there is a parking area on the left side of the road.
Just hike down the creek and head upstream. Fish anywhere below the gravel bar. The fresher fish (if you can call them that) are usually holding a little more into the current than the ones that are about to fall asleep for the last time. These ones that are dozing off are at your feet as you are casting.
