I have heard of “the old hatchery” a few times while spending time down there, but for the life of me, I can’t figure it out. I’m usually pretty good about finding stuff out...but this is to the point of obsession. When I say “oh, you mean forks creek”, to the locals, I get a “nope” and nothing more.

In an article I found researching the subject, the author mentions the smith creek hatchery. It is an article on low key steelhead spots.

WB is a diffeeent animal when it comes to locals, land owners and fishing. Lots of fish, small water and limited jerk offs.

I am in Raymond almost everyday to take my son to ABA therapy (for autism). I usually have between 3-5 hours to kill, so naturally I go fishing. The locals have been very helpful, more than most places I’ve gone. Except, everyone is pretty zipper lip about this...it’s bothering me now.
