Title: Queets chrome
Post by: MuleySniper on April 13, 2009, 04:22:00 PM: My dad and I snuck off last Thursday and managed to get our boat wet. Topped off the trip with a few steely's too. These pics are kind of cool. Floated the lower part on Thursday evening then we put in at Matheney creek on Friday and floated down to the Queets. One obstacle we had to get around :chuckle: Here are a few pics. Enjoy. Please no internet police reminding me about taking nates out of the water for pics. I've been fishing steely's over ten years and have never kept a single nate. I only fish plugs too so every fish is released without any problems. Single barbless hooks I'll add. We hooked and landed 7 fish and lost two screamers that were high teens or low twenties.

Last yr. on the Klickitat there was a log across the river that took a couple of boats. looked about the same, water was a little faster, and the spot in the river was a channel with a safe way and one that put you in the fast water straight at it, which caused people issues for a while. congrats on the fish, thanks for the snap shots

Post by: nwhunter on April 13, 2009, 10:12:48 PM: Nice fish. I was up there last weekend rowed across the river up at the campground and hiked up the trail with my nine year old looking for elk. Should have taken my pole I guess but we had other things we were looking for. Gotta love the Queets. nwhunter

Post by: MuleySniper on April 16, 2009, 10:17:30 PM: We went up Queets river road off of 101. There is a guy named Wane that we use for a turn around right there at the takeout. He's a great guy.
