Hoh River, Washington

Stepping onto Washington's Olympic Peninsula lands you smack dab in the middle of winter steelheading's hallowed ground. Inch for inch this area provides both opportunity and sustenance to the steelhead fanatic. Winter steelhead fly-fishers seem to be imbued with a strange quirk not generally seen in genes of the normal fly flinger. The ability to survive and even revel in abusive weather conditions, cold water, lethargic fish tendencies, shortened days and bleak conditions that scream, "stay home" are all part of the magic and legend surrounding winter fish on the fly. In reality the quiet solitude, peaceful unhurried pace and dramatic possibilities make this a "must do" experience for serious fly anglers. As in most cases the rewards are commensurate with the challenges overcome.

Rivers on the peninsula are smaller, each with a unique personality. The Hoh in many people's book is the best of the best. Hook-ups with fifteen-pound fish are possible with some fish nearing twenty pounds fueling many a squandered moment of reflection during retreat from workday blues.

Summer also brings steelhead to the Hoh as well as sea-run cutthroat, Dolly Varden and resident rainbow in the upper river.
