Hey seadog, if you don't want to drive as far, you can drive through Shelton and fish the upper forks of the humptulips river off Hwy 101 near the town of Humptulips. You can walk for miles on the west fork and you won't have much competition. I've hooked a fair # of natives earlier this month and they should be spread out quite a bit in there now. You should have some luck and learn some new water. Just turn off Hwy 101 at the Donkey Creek rd. Drive until you see the river. You might also want to check the regs.
