I would bet that 99% of the “Rainbows”
are actually steelhead smolt. Not long after I moved to our current house I
stepped out on the river and tossed a Royal Wulff under a log overhanging the
bank right by our deck and pulled out a nice little cutthroat of about 8”.
I decided to only fish the Snoqualmie a few months later after watching how low
the water gets and seeing how much trouble a Steelhead or Salmon has trying to
find the pockets to spawn in. To this day I haven’t fished it again. I
would rather let the few Steelhead and Salmon that make it up river spawn!
There is one small hole right by our
property that Salmon and Steelhead will spawn in. I’ve only personally
seen this happen twice. Since then I have only seen one fish make it up to our
house to that hole. It’s pretty sad really.
BTW: I stopped in Fall City this morning and fished below the mouth of the Raging and didn’t see a single fish
other than the dead Chinook hen on the bank that didn’t even look like it
had spawned L

Are you guy positive that the 'rainbows' you're targeting in the Raging
aren't residents at all but steelhead smolts instead?
Jim,
I was fishing Raging river 3 years ago , section you mention and
hooked very small bows.
One day I was fishing this great looking run and I hooked huge Chinook
, man he took my line and went for the Fall City! , broke off my midget 2
weight rig. I have to tell you he scared my pants off! I was fishing for a
4-8" fish over there.
