Hey guys, I'm planning on fishing the Queets this weekend. I have never been down it. I'm reasonably good with the oars but is there anything (hazards) I should know about? How about the Hoh as well. Thanks in advance.

There's a old growth spruce completely blocking the river about a mile below the campground. Signs recommend no floating as treacherous conditions exist!

Wooooooo. Thanks Mike. That's just what I was afraid of. Any word on the lower river?

PM'd ya
Good luck!

No obstacles from Hartzell to Salmon R. and ~100yds downstream. River does seem to have a liking for eroding away at the south bank quite a bit.

Can anyone confirm beaver sightings on this river? This past Monday my dad thinks he saw one.

Forgot to mention that the road has been repaved, hallelujah! Don't know if it is repaved all the way to the campground, but it is at least to Hartzell.

You mean regraveled.I highly doubt they would pave this gravel road.It's pretty high to fish this weekend.Good luck,

forget the Queets. Go fish the hoh.

I've seen where beaver have been dragging trees so it doesn't surprise me that he saw one...I've also seen a good population of river otter.

i wasn't sure what kind of beaver you were talking about

He said he saw it hop into the water off a logjam, but I didn't see any gnawed trees in the vicinity.

I'm with Bob on this one. Tell us more about the beaver.

In my experience, very little beaver on the Queets; to wet and cold, esp. in winter.

Much more beaver say, on Kalama on a hot day in july. Heard Yakima also has lots.

If you're really looking for beaver though, I'd say look closer to high population areas!Or better yet just go to the source.

Me no like um "strong" beaver.......Me likes um young and tender.
