olympic peninsula

Post by ingi » Fri Feb 24, 2012 10:06 pm

I would have to bet the rivers are pretty much out with the rain we have had today and the last couple days but I have a couple questions. What kinds of numbers are within the fishable range for the sol duc or say the bogachiel. I know my options are pretty limited but also does anyone know of any decent areas that can be fished from the bank. feel free to PM if you dont want to share with the world but all advice would be greatly appreciated.

I will be so bummed if the river we are planning to hit Monday goes out. I get one shot every two weeks to go fishing so that would suck.

Our gauge is still green, but the bogy et. al. are blown. Monday they could drop into shape though if the weatherman is right.

The hatchery at the bogey is plenty of water to cover in a day. Walk from the creek to the calawah and back will keep you busy. Goodman mainline accesses the bogey down lower and I've got some spots on the duc...

I was at the bogey on tuesday and wenseday and i would say the river rose atleast 5', it was a torrenchal downpour probably 3" of rain on tuesday alone. I dont know how long after that amount of rain it takes to get back in decent shape but it was pretty bad.

There is tons of access on the Bogey and alot of other rivers up there. They are all running high right now, almost all rivers on the Oly pen are running fast. The Calawah is at 2850 last I checked. Most rivers are really ripping this evening. The forecast for up there calls for rain/snow 60 to 50 tomorrow. That should cause them to fall slower. Monday may be ok, will have to see what tomorrow brings, monday does look like the next decent day for a week though.
