Snoqualmie at South Fork Mouth

In trying to be on the South Fork from source to mouth this year I had to figure out how to fish the lowest stretches of the river.   I tried an approach that failed through the Three Rivers Natural Area and finally in late summer settled on parking on the main Snoqualmie off Reining Road and wading across the main stem of the river to access the South Fork’s mouth.  This is the view from wading across river just above the mouth, with Mt. Si in the background.   For all the work getting there the fishing in the very lowest reaches of the South Fork wasn’t all that great and I ended up spending a part of the day on the North Fork too.

Had a bit of a hard time getting started on this one today and am not totally happy with it.  It is the last of the South Fork related paintings I’m doing for the challenge.  Only three pieces left to do!
