Not always the case. This spot here that I fished last year has zero roads along the river valley. It has one public access point that dead ends at the river.
You could fly in to SeaTac with your MTBs or touring bikes and your fly gear boxed up, bus to King Station, bus to Issaquah, grab a hotel room there, build your bikes, then hit the trails the next day. Issaquah-Preston Trail, Snoqualmie Valley Trail, Palouse to Cascades trail. The route will take you to lots of great spots on the Middle and South Fork Snoqualmie, the Yakima River and several smaller streams; several of these spots aren't even easily accessible by AWD. Then fly out of Ellensburg on a puddle jumper for connections via Spokane or SeaTac.
Just an option if one was really dedicated to car free fishing trips.
