Dirty water steelhead

April 11-12th max needs a partner fishing steelhead on the Peninsula. Let me know if interested.  

 I still have a few open dates and typically late march-april the rivers and rain mellow out a bit.

I fished 3 different rivers over the last week. We had a really high water 12 days or so ago and it really moved some of the rivers around. I have seen the Upper Quinault running quite high but still have great visibility but with that last high water now all the rivers are dirtier than normal and take a little longer to clear up.

The Queets is fishing great but just needs the right levels and vis. At hartsels there is a tree over the boat ramp, I was able to get my raft under it but barely, don’t think a drift boat could do it and the park service my not fix it. There is the attitude to leave things natural.  There is a big ass tree across the river on the lower float now too. You can drag your boat around it on the right side, don’t go to the left. The river changed more in the last 2 weeks than I have seen in the last 2 years.

We fished the Clearwater river on Wednesday and couln’t have hit the conditions better. Perfect shape and nice color and my client Tim was the hot rod that day with 3 landed fish.
