I fished the SolDuc on saturday with no luck. My first ever attempt at steelhead fishing. Saw a man cleaning a steelhead in the river. I asked if he caught it just then as I was away down river. He said that it was caught over on the Hoh by the lone girl in there group of 3. She was using a pink corky that was it. It was a 10-15lb native would be my guess. They fished the Duc for a little bit with no bites and left. I hope that helps you. Tight Lines..

Hi salmonfinder, I think I know you. Did you do real time salmon reports from the Nisqually on another site? I have heard that we need rain for the fishing in the rivers to pick up. So it will depend on where the rain has got to. Please come back and report your success or lack of it in the river section.

You just needed some time to cool down, before you posted, after some remarks that were made toward you. I thought some of them are uncalled for. Not just toward you but others, that posted on this site, that were talked about on that site. I have been thinking about how just a couple bad remarks can ruin the whole experence.

I've been to the hoh before. All bank access too. If you take 101 south out of forks, before you cross the hoh on a bridge you will see a sign for cottonwood campground... (oil city road) Take a right. A small wood sign marks the camp ground about a mile or so down road. (left hand side) You can get to the river back behind the campground and work a lot of gravel bar. I've had luck there. Another spot... if you skip the camp ground and continue down oil city road for awhile you will see a couple of lone houses one across from one another just after a small bridge going over a creek. You can use turn out just past them (short and muddy w/ mail box) I've had luck above and below these houses just walking the road and getting up and down to the river where you can. Keep driving and walk down where ever you can towards the mouth. You aren't far from the ocean so I try to be there on incoming tides for fresh fish. Fish big baits and short leaders to get your presentations in the zone quickly behind wood/boulders. Also, if you google (angelfire nw fishing) then follow steps to washington river reports they normally update it every 3 days or so with the latest word from local tackle shops. Haven't fished in the park so can't help you there.
