While I have never fished the Queets, I would heartily agree with Kyle's comments. Any river can be hot one day, and ice cold the next. Sometimes folks hit a pocket of holding water that, at that time and place, is holding fish. Folks go flocking out there expecting limits + and get bupkis...but they keep going because they were told it was a "hot" river.

IMMHO (very humble), pick a section of (insert your favorite river here) XXXXX River, learn every nook, cranny and rock in it, and you will find the fish when they are there.

If the fish aren't there...you can't make them bite. And if they are there and won't bite...you can't stop 'em.
