King Lake - private - April 29th, 2005
supplied by: All About the Fly FISHING: Great King Lake is Washington's newest private fishing lake. The recent warm weather has made the fishing amazing! Some of the guests are having 50+ fish days, fishing Chironomids, (pupa and emerger patterns). Also big leech, and crawfish imitations have been taking some giant fish. A recent afternoon hatch has been making dry fly fishing very successful too.
The fish are starting to get into spawning mode, and are very aggressive. One of the inlets has been getting fish starting to move up, and get their spawn on!
Same scenario as last week, the upper Sol-Duc and the Calawah rivers are currently "to low" for a comfortable float in a hard boat while the rest of the area rivers are in "floatable" shape. We desperately need a good shot of rain.....
FLY FISHING REPORT:Overall it's been a real decent Winter Steelhead season, the rivers have been "in" more than they've been "out" and we've been "exercising" quite a few fish on the long rods. Enjoyed a wonderful day recently on the Hoh River with my lovely wife Kimberly and good friend Chris Senyohl. We let things thaw out a bit this morning and didn't put on the river until about 10:00am. Kim of course pinned the biggest and brightest fish of the day but Chris and I salvaged our pride by picking up numerous smaller "more interesting" fish.
Sol-Duc (sole~duck) River-- Very low and clear and cold right now. You really have to earn your Steelhead in this river.
NOTE: Wild Steelhead selective gear regulations as well as catch & Release reg's are in effect above Sappho fish hatchery. It has/is being heavily patrolled up here and tickets for using bait and/or killing a wild Steelhead have been substantial.
Bogachiel River -- Same, tough duty lately due to the cold crisp nights and clear low water conditions. NOTE: Wild Steelhead selective gear regulations as well as catch & Release reg's are in effect above the US HWY 101 bridge.
Calawah River Tough duty in here right now also, super clear and extremely low water conditions. I did float the lower section last Sunday with Roy and Mark and we found 4 Steelhead that were interested in what we had to offer but I think those were the only 4 Steelhead in the whole lower stretch!!
Danger! Complete Channel blockage in the South Fork, Calawah River.
Kim, Auggie and I, got a few hours in here last week. We floated from Hyas crk put in on the South Fork down stream to our backyard (approx 6 river miles). Kim pinned 2 fresh albeit small wild Steelhead right off the bat and then things slowed down considerably. Overall it was an outstanding trip with just a few "minor obstacles" near the end of our "backyard" fishing trip.
Surprise! this tree just happens to be laying across the river in the middle of some of the "most interesting" water on the S Fork of the Calawah R. Both sides of the Island were totally blocked to passage so we heaved the boat over the tree. Thank God we chose the inflatable instead of the hard boat for this trip (although, the chainsaw would have been on board if we took the NAC). Then when we arrived at our house, we were greeted by this fine sight! Sarah our bi-polar sweet/evil lab bitch was pissed cause we took Auggie instead of her and she demolished one of the couch pillows. Does anybody know a good doggie therapist?
NOTE: Wild Steelhead selective gear regulations as well as catch & Release reg's are in effect.
HOH RIVER --It's getting spooky in here right now, I have not seen the Hoh River this low in February since 1990. Pat and I guided John Brewer and his crew in here today and we did find several cooperative fish including a 20lb+ specimen that John caught and released but overall it has been real hit and miss the past few days.
Queets River-- Slow
Quillayute River -- Slow
Lower Quinault River-- Shaping up quickly and the Steelhead fishing is getting real good, It's Trophy Time and this great river should fish excellent by the end of this month. To fish this river you will need a Quinault Nation licensed fishing guide.
Sooes ("soo-yes") River, Neah Bay-- No recent report. Typically once the hatchery run is done in here there are still a few big Wild Steelhead available here and in the Waa"tch River. You will need a tribal permit to fish this little river, available in Neah Bay at Washburns General store 360-645-2211.
The Green is often overlooked by local steelhead flyfishers. Maybe it just seems too close to home for the fishing to be any good. Nonetheless, a few anglers have been consistently taking hatchery steelhead from the Flaming Geyser area. The river has been low and clear and the typical purple favorites need to be down-sized a little in order to get the best looks.
