LD, The Quinault has to be the best fishery in the state hands down.I personally have hooked over 200+(lost track around then) in the Creek alone! since the 1st week in Dec. until I quit fishing the creek about 3 wks ago. With all the drama with Wa. Natives I have much respect for their fishery and the guys who manage it! I fish with a guy who I am glad to call my freind and works at the hatchery,who can not only fish better than any of my fishing partners(besides my father, who is fishing in a better place now! and myself of course, sorry Gray Wolf but remember the 30 fish day Besides planting the Quinault they plant 3 or 4 other rivers with thousands of smolts that most fisherman don't even know about and would be surprised if they knew. I know a couple of great guides on that river. Email me and I can point you in the right direction and remember its always your choice for C&R
