Stillaguamish River is a public river in Snohomish County, Washington, managed by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. You can fish it on a Washington fishing licence — plus a Columbia River Salmon/Steelhead Endorsement to fish the Columbia system for salmon or steelhead, and a free Catch Record Card for salmon, steelhead or sturgeon. Washington’s navigable rivers carry a public right to the bed and banks below the ordinary high-water line. Wild steelhead are release-only statewide, and many rivers run selective-gear or seasonal. A Discover Pass is needed to park at WDFW access areas. Public access confirmed via WDFW Fish Washington water.
A Puget Sound river (the Skagit, Sauk, Skykomish, Snoqualmie, Stillaguamish, Green, Puyallup, Nisqually) — winter and summer steelhead, coho, pink and chum salmon, and resident and sea-run cutthroat trout; many reaches are seasonal or restricted, and wild steelhead are release-only statewide.
It runs roughly 27 miles through the Region 4 (North Puget Sound) region. Anglers here mostly fish for coho salmon, cutthroat trout, pink salmon, summer steelhead; winter steelhead are also on record. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Lake Armstrong and old peat bog.

Night fishing: Most Washington lakes are open to fishing 24 hours a day unless posted; rivers and streams open and close by season and area, and salmon and steelhead fisheries have set hours. Check the current Washington Sport Fishing Rules for the specific water.
Boats: Washington rivers are drift-boat and raft water (the Skagit, Yakima, Klickitat, Snake especially) or bank-fished; out-of-state boats need a Washington Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Permit.
Bank & bivvy camping: The Cascade and Olympic river corridors run mostly through National Forest -- dispersed camping is allowed on most Okanogan-Wenatchee, Gifford Pinchot, Mt Baker-Snoqualmie and Olympic ground; a Discover Pass covers parking and designated camping on WDFW and DNR land.
Tackle: The default trout limit is 5 per day on lowland lakes (many alpine lakes have no limit), the bass limit 5, with extensive selective-gear, catch-and-release and seasonal rules -- the Yakima is C&R selective gear, wild steelhead are release-only statewide, and salmon is set area by area. Check the current Washington Sport Fishing Rules.
