Thanks to Bob and Fun5acres for the suggestions. Beautiful water.

Fished the Hoko on Monday morning. Parked at the upper bridge and walked downstream. Saw several dark steelhead cruising around in the pools and spooked a couple holding in water less than 12" deep. I eventually got one around 8lbs that took a #6 bell-head leech. It was acting more like a cutt, holding next to a log in the frog-water. It was great to see fish but surprising that there were no fresh ones around.

Also checked out the upper Queets. More amazing water but no luck there. Saw a family of river otters, 3 bald eagles, and more elk tracks than I've seen outside of Yellowstone.

I'll be back in search of chrome.
