The Duc.

i went out yesterday, had to pick between the duc or the cow...i picked the cow and got skunked. i guess i should have went to the duc and at least that way i could have fished some nice water.

Gotta love them chrome bucks. Nice pic

No kiddin, I'll argue till Im blue in the face. The Pen puts out the chromest fish on the whole west coast. Nice ones!

They are so chrome, because those rivers are short. This fish from the pic was caught maybe 7-8 miles out from the salt. That is how Peninsula rivers are. I like Salmon fishng there in the fall. I go whenever I can...

Looks like you were in a raft, did you go with Carl Wiendl? 

[BLR 243]

yep Carl, had a good time fishing with him, learned alot about float fishing. I fished the penninsula for 30 years even caught a 21 lb.er on the Duc.

[Bearhunter]

I thought that looked like the corner of his boat, he sure does no hit steelhead!  I wish I could have made a trip over with him this year just no time.  He will always put you on fish.

Nice Fish.  Super Bright. 

A buddy and I fished the Sol Duc on 2/25 and hooked 5 fish and landed 4.  One a beautiful 18 lb. Jack.  I've heard nothing but good reports from up there the last month.  The guy we fished with has been catching between 4-8 fish a day for about a month now.  The day we floated we didn't see another boat on the entire drift until the pull out at 3-rivers.  It was awesome.
