Opening day Quilcene River. Arriving at rodgers street at 9am I right away see a guy pop out of the bushes with a nice 5lb silver, he said it was in a school of about 15. So I figured it would be a good day, but I was wrong. I walked almost all the way up to the 101 bridge and back only to see one loner sitting under a brush pile spooked out of its mind... After that I hung with the locals at the boundary for a couple hours and only saw 3 more shoot right past us. So in 9 hours I only saw 5 fish, maybe try again monday.

Like many of the rivers the fishing at the Quilcene River is bad when the Indians have their nets out. Does anyone know where we can find out which days the Indians have their nets out so we don't drive 40 or 50 miles only to find nothing in the river? I also enjoy fishing the Quilcene.

The Indians are only allowed to use dip nets, No gill nets here. This river is the closest to where I live and so fish it at least twice a week during the season and will report on what I see every time.
