I am glad there are not too many Canadians visiting this board otherwise based on what I have seen from some Washingtonians you would have been in DEEP WATER for giving that report. But I should not be generalizing. Canadian fishermen may not mind. I am glad you enjoyed your trip and thanks for the report. This river has been on my list for a long time. It probably takes me as long if not longer (Ferry) to go to Forks so I may give it a try one of these days. I have fished Babin (sp) area and Rivers Inlet salt water years ago. It is great fishing up there. How much is the one day license these days?
