Tucquala Lake, Northern Cascade Range, Kittitas County, Washington     User input for Tucquala Lake, Northern Cascade Range, Kittitas County, Washington: This ''Lake'' Is Beautiful. It really isn't a lake at all, in the summer it is a widening of the river. Very slow moving river, more like a slough, it is very clean, clear, and cold, mountain runoff. The fishing is excellent from a small boat or float tube, although the current can be somewhat strong. I fly fished, using a #14 Adams, and caught 11 rainbow and cutthroat trout between 6 & 11'', in the early to mid evening. This was in July of 2008. Camping was good, small sites along the main road. Keep your food in the cars though as Bears are definitely out. - Ben BIGGER SIZE PICTURE HERE Daniel Mount: This beautiful lake is really more of a bump in the upper CleElum River. the valley and meadows is a nice day trip from Seattle. Though I've seen trout in the river I don't see many being caught.
