On our annual 10 day salmon trip to the O.P. this year we decided to try the tidewater of the Hoh. Ive never seen so much sealion activity. I picked a spot to fish as far down as I could get and as I was fishing I witnessed sealions waiting in 2ft of water for the salmon they just chased on the bank to slide back in. What a slaughter. They were swimming upstream damn near 5 ft next to me. My confidence level was about none! But I did happen to nail a hatchery steelie through all the chaos.
