My apologies Stifler I did not see that you came on this board last November....if you had been here in August and September of last year you would likely have known that the Quilcene is my location every year during the coho run. Your description of that river hit a touchy nerve. I fish it intensely for about 5 weeks and do find considerable sport in playing a legally hooked in the mouth fresh from the saltwater silver in that dinky water....you lose more than 3/4 of the ones so hooked....you don't see that happen on larger bodies of water. So my apologies sir and thanks for agreeing with the central theme of my post.

I am also quite horrified to find myself in agreement with RA3 ! Sheesh nothing intended by that....just gonna take some getting use too :p !
