I grew up in that general area and my dad and I fished the Big Quil when I was a little Kid. I havent been there since it has become a madhouse really I havent fished it for silvers since I was about 6 years old. I have fished it for steelhead a couple of times in the past few years and managed a couple of hatchery strays.

My point is this Quilicine river thing is a joke. These silvers are very good biters from what I remember but that little river cant handle much presure. It yousto be just a few locals I cant imagine what it looks like now. Even though its only 15 minutes from my parents house you wouldnt catch me or my dad there in a thousand years.
