Goose, The Quilcene, Dosewallips, Duckabush have sentimental value for me too. My dad took me over the bridge to fish these famed rivers a couple of times when I was 12 back in the mid 70's. Also used to hunt around Thorndike. I'm still kind of curious if these rivers still have winter or summer steelhead. Anyway I went back last fall when word spread about the large silver run. Even took my dad over. Anyway I snuck over there for an evening a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe all the people and vehicles parked. I was only there two hours and must have seen 100 fish packed out. Went back a couple of days after that, with my boy, at high tide, and there wasn't as many people. I hooked a silver bullet(legally just orange yarn and a hook in the mouth), didn't have my drag set tight enough, took me under a log, jumped and broke off. Some kids came up and asked if I was snagging. I told them that they would bite orange yarn and gave them a piece. We really need to educate the kids on how to fish legally. I didn't notice as much snagging as last year but I wasn't there very long.I wish they would let us use bait. Maybe some people wouldn't be compelled to snag if they could use bait. Didn't come back with anything but it sure was fun. Hoping to back when we get some more rain.
