Title: How is Fishing in Forks?
Post by: Sporting_Man on September 20, 2011, 06:47:37 AM: Is there anyone that knows what's shaking over in Hoh, Quilayute, Duc? I think it should be getting better each day with this little rain... Any info would be appreciated.

I fished the Hump and tagged a smaller King, then hit the Satsop with no luck and at my final stop on my way home I hit two silvers on the Nisqually in less than 10 cast!

I ended up being late to my evening engagement due to cleaning fish, but no big deal, the first hour was just elbow rubbing anyways. :chuckle:

Native netting took its toll - they got 80000 (eighty thousand) pounds of fish out from the Quillayute (river made of Sol-Duc and Bogachiel) in last two weeks. Everybody was pissed off when those news broke out... For those who know how hot fishing can be in the Quilly, this is noticeable, but fishing is still good.
