Y'all are right, the Queets is toast, don't go there. The Wynooche, Satsop, Hump, Bogey etc. are all much better rivers.... I don't like nets either, but the fact is I've fished the Queets since the early 60s and my best day ever there was two years ago in March. The trick is fishing it during the right conditions, which can be tough since the river tends to go out after a sneeze.
