Here's the scoop on where and when. Hit the upper river in the mornings through mid-day if you don't mind bringing your own rock. Fresh fish are pouring in on the late afternoon tide and by mornin they are all stacked up high. Morning thru midday is real spotty down low. In between is the big corner hole which is filled with sh t
loads of bright fish and half the town of Quilcene busting them with some really innovative gear.
I've been fishing a spot that even today I had pretty much to myself. About 5pm they just start blastin upstream and you get a feel for what the runs are like up in Alaska.
Spinners if you like but now that we have discovered the new secret weapon now its only a matter of making my one and only package of ***** yarn last until I get to the big town for more. I don't about up high but we were getting pounded by large fish up to 14 lbs right at dark. Had one just smoke the hide off my thumb headin back to the salt and walk right through 15 lb test on its way. Just love it.
