Not long ago Tom Verschuren took his niece with him to show her the fun of fly fishing on the upper Icicle. He caught a few small rainbow and let her give fly casting a try. He wanted to get back up there, so we went around midday on Tuesday. The catching was disappointing, but it was a perfect day to be out splashing around in this scenic stream. For those who would like to give this a try, here’s a couple of my favorite places to cast for the small trout on the Icicle. Just below where the road changes from asphalt to dirt, there is a pull out. I park there and either wade upstream from the bridge or downstream. I should mention that the wading in this area is difficult. It is classic pocket water and long casts aren’t necessary to get a bunch of fish. Another favorite of mine is above the bridge at the last campground. Just past the bridge there is a short dirt road. I park there and walk the trail up a ways before I get into the water. There is a very nice stretch of water here and it is loaded with small rainbow.
