You've got the right idea, Finegrain. I have seen numerous fights, snaggers, and all around bad ethics on the Snohomish. The bank access around Thomas Eddy is somewhat limited and you have to show up early and bring your own spot. Especially on the weekends. Cracker Bar is a good idea. There will be people there but it's a large enough area that they will be much more spread out than the crowds on the Snohomish. Good luck and good fishing.
