The Quinault is full of native fish... just later timed, like most OP systems. The upper river is not one that usually produces early in the season (now). But get into March and April and it can be very good. Water clarity is not the same problem as on the Queets or Hoh but it can be turbid at times.

If I were at the Lodge I would book a trip with one of the Tribal guides for the lower river. That would be fun.
