Thanks everyone for the input and suggestions.

Here is a quick trip report:

The weather on the Olympic Peninsula this past weekend was perfect for doing anything except fishing. It was absolutely cloudless. Bright, sunny and warm. Temperatures were in the low 70’s. Just another typical day in Forks, Washington in early spring (not….)

We fished the Hoh River on Saturday and the Queets on Sunday. Both rivers were low. Really low. The Hoh was crystal clear. The Queets was glacially turbid but still very low. In some places on the Hoh, you could walk across the river without getting your knees wet. We didn’t have to drag our drift boat over any riffles, but it was close.

On the Hoh, we put in at Allen’s Bar and drifted to G&L Shake. There were three of us in our drift boat. We didn’t move a single fish. No hits, no strikes. Nothing. We tossed beads under a float mostly, but I tossed spinners and spoons too. But nothing was biting. Lots of other boats and anglers, but they weren't doing any better.

On Sunday, we tried to float the Queets but we deemed the take-out ramp to be too steep and rough for the vehicle we had. We could easily put in at the Hartzell launch, but the take out was too difficult. So we went upstream of Hartzell, and fished the river on foot. But the results were the same. No fish, no hits.

It was a wonderful weekend to be on the Olympic Peninsula, as long as you weren’t trying to catch fish……..

Thanks again everyone.
