Got a second to tell me about that Hawg in your avatar?
Unfortunately for you, I don't think Letty fishes the Queets. That is usually the first place I want to fish in March. If the Queets is out, than it's the Quinault.

That fish was caught on Easter last spring on the Queets. Taped out 39x22. Not very long, but really big shoulders. I think the fish calculators put it in the 23-25 pound class.

My very first fish off of the Quinault was a 27 pound buck in 1996. I don't recall the exact measurements, but it was at least 43" long. No idea on the girth. I was young, dumb, and bonked it. Never did end up on my wall. \:\( A waste. \:\( Photos of it, and many other steelies can be found at:

Parker\'s Steelhead Gallery

There are a few Quinault fish up there for you to look/drool over. Probably will cause many a sleepless night from now until March! \:D
