Smashville...Kings & Coho Salmon!

The Quinault Reservation is a phenomenal location for salmon, trout & steelhead. This particular trip took place in mid-October, during a mixture of King Salmon & Coho (Silver) Salmon coming in. Ruben Estavillo, the guide, had been getting them pretty good, so Nick Amato and Lucas decided to jump on board with James Beasley to give these fish a shot. Armed with Wicked Lure spinners, they swung, as well as twitched for these fish.

The lower river produced, but the bulk of the tidal push had already moved through. In order to get in front of more fish, Ruben put the boat back on the trailer and headed up to the Cook Creek launch. After going through a log-jam, they started picking apart the water and hooked a couple fish. Eventually, they found a fresh push of prime coho and started hammering them left and right. After a beatdown of both kings and coho they eventually had to leave to prepare for the long drive home...but it was hard to leave! One More Cast!!

Excellent trip - STS would highly recommend booking trips on the Quinault Reservation - it's hard to find a better fishery.
