If you are heading from Spokane to here why would you want to fish these rivers? If you really want to hook you friends of steelhead fishing either hire a guide for the local rivers or in my opinion don't fish around here, it's depressing!! For the amount of time that I have waisted this year on the Sky and Sno it's in your better interest to go the the peninsula. This place will not upset you! I can't count the hours on the local rivers here by Seattle that I have spent. One trip to the Hoh river and hooked 4 nice fish, one was at least 18#. Now that's fishin! Just my $.02, see ya good luck on your trip!
