Hey folks,
I'd like to give the Quillayute one last try this weekend because I still haven't beached a steelhead over there this season! Question: are the nets back in the water yet and if not, will they stay out long enough to let me have some fishing? Thanks for any info.

Not sure if the nets in there right now, but I think they are scheduled to be in this week, like until the 25th.
The Quileutes have a schedule of when they will net, I've seen it hanging up on the bulletin board at the general store in La Push. The sure thing to do would be to call that store and ask someone to take a look at it for you. I think the number down there is 360-374-5267 or 800-487-1267...
Hope this helps.

Floated the Quileute Sunday, from Leyendecker to Dickey R. Found a few trout, saw some springers, lots of eagles, and 1 seal about a mile up from the salt. No nets, though, but they could have been lower. Thousands of smolt, could make fly fishing difficult, dont even think about bait.

They did a cerimonial fishery yesterday for a funeral in the late evening and the regular netting started today. they started drift netting at about 4:00 yesterday afternoon at the power line hole on the Quileute. I know this because I saw em when we were pulling out at linedecker.

Odly they had some very large steelies in the fish box when I checked and a few nice springers.

The nets are back in ... just in time to grab hold of all those steelies headed back out over the next few weeks. Mmmm, going to be some good cat food available!

Frankly, I'm not sure how many days a week (probably 3 I would guess) they're going on this fishery, I'll try to find out more an post it here

How far would a hay bale or two tossed from the bridge above Lyndecker make it down?

The scedual will be three days a week till the end of May monday at 7:00 am till wed at 3:00 pm. then it goes to two days a week from July 1st untill the end of September monday at 7:00 am to wed at 3:00 pm. I havent seen any scedual after the end of Sept.

October will most likely be three days a week.
