I like to fish. My wife mostly doesn't. My wife does like Lake Quinault Lodge. So, I'm wondering if there is some way I can combine a "family" vacation with a fishing vacation by staying at Lake Quinault Lodge and doing some nearby fishing.

I don't have a boat, but I'm willing to hike for bank access.

I know that you can fish the lower river with a tribal guide.

I'm wondering what type of fishing options there are either (a) fishing the lake from a rented kayak or something, (b) fishing the river above the lake from the bank, or (c) doing a guided trip on the upper river.

I've seen pictures online of people catching dollies in the upper river (north fork I think). Does the upper river get a decent steelhead return in Feb/March?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
