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.
