I'm a guide on the lower Quinault so I'll try to answer your questions. You can expect to pay $125.00 to 150.00 per person depending on the guide. Some have guided for 30+ years. Others not so long. Most all fish the same way this time of the year. Side drifting bait. Plugs are used in Jan & early feb at 101 because the lake Quinault hatchery fish are stacked up at the 101 bridge. Send me an e-mail to potter@olynet.com and I'll send you a list of guides that I recommend when I'm booked.
