Planing on going fishing either cook creek or little salmon on tues if weather permits,I herd a rumer that the tribe is going to close the creek, Ive also herd that the creek is full of fish. What about the little salmon, whats going on there. HELP!!!

Cook creek is currently closed but should open in a day or two. Stay tuned. little salmon (Salmon River?) is open on rez and should stay that way. I was poking around up there this afternoon. It is perfect for fishing. However, I fished for an hour and only caught a silver and a chinook, both had seen better days and were released. There are a few steelhead around also.

Are guides required on both rivers this year or can you fish one or the other with just a permit?
Thanks!

You must be with a Quinault tribal member on both Cook and Salmon when fishing on reservation.

Hi Letty,
We are looking forward to seeing you on the 18th, I hope the steelies start stacking in the next 2 weeks

Hi RANDY! It should be good fishing on the 18th!

RANDY,

It will be a slaughter. You might as well start having dreams of that infamous 30+ fish day!

We hooked 15 on the Salmon on Friday. Would have been a *lot* better with more water.

Here's a pic of my wife and I on the deck of guide Robin Rhoades house overlooking the Quinalt.

Cook creek opens 12/5/00

thanks for the info Lette, looks like tues might be a good day at cook, with no pressure over the weekend. RIGHT ON, FISH-ON wish me luck

Is there any fishing opertunity on the upper Salmon or Cook Creek outside of the resevation?

Sometimes when the lights go out the power to the electric weir is off for a short while and some steelhead go above the hatchery on cook creek. this is off rez but I don't know if it is open. On the salmon there is a small piece of off rez near the west boundary road that is off rez and could be a spot to catch steelhead as many fish travel past the hatchery to spawn upstream.

Check out the pic on opening morning on cook creek under river reports...anybody reconize the big guy???

Thinking of coming up to Cook creek on thursday.Can anyone tell me if there is any places to bank fish out of the rez.Its my first time up there.TM

I don't know if the area off-rez is open but it is above the hatchery and since there has been no power outages yet this winter there shouldn't be any steelhead above the electric weir. In short, all the fish are on rez.

That big guy is none other than the infamous Superfly. Wazzup, Joe? Nice fish, man.

Your right! Joe's birthday today. He spent it trying out his new line of rods. Looks like they work pretty good.

Thanks for the email info Potter
